This frustrates me so. Why does everyone think technology will always magically change human nature for the better?
People are not skeptics now, and they won't become skeptics once this tech comes out.
Just like a large percentage of people believe whatever is put in their Facebook feed, they will believe things that confirm their world view.
It's like saying "man once the internet becomes widespread there will no longer be things like climate change denial because anyone will have access to accurate information at their fingertips and can look up the data and reports." And yet, look where we are in the US.
Technology will never solve problems of human nature.
Via analogy, let's say you saw it as a problem that people like kinky sex and want it stopped. People have always liked kinky sex always will like it. There is no tech you can invent shy of physical or chemical lobotomy that will change that. But for some reason when we look at other qualities we forget that lesson.
