To clarify, you are saying 'the Internet didn't make us dumb, but now the dumbest of us now have equal access to a microphone'. Is that a correct reading of you

To clarify, you are saying 'the Internet didn't make us dumb, but now the dumbest of us now have equal access to a microphone'. Is that a correct reading of you? If so, that's interesting. Because of feedback loops at multiple levels... Your last sentence is interesting. You appear to be saying that people might not believe the stuff spewing from their very own fingertips...

...people might not believe the stuff spewing from their very own fingertips... They don't. Only hyperbolic writing and videos get attention nowadays. Everyone's trying to one-up everyone else in the attention wars. Virtue signaling abounds. Calmly stating a reasoned opinion is a quick way to be ignored.
