My hope if we will adapt and improve own heuristics and filers to get better at information processing. It used to be if you saw someone credible looking on TV tell you something, you mostly filed it away as 'true'. We are learning that 'truth' isn't really a thing you are told. Someone can tell you something but they have motives and even with the best of intentions, they're conveying one perspective or approximation of a complex and chaotic reality. We learn to be suspicious of entertainment masquerading as news or to catch ourselves when we begin slipping into a pattern of mindless consumption. In some respects this is a good thing - we're becoming more cognizant and critical of our reality.
