I disagree. One just has to look at Reddit to see that the younger generation is as caught up in all this as any. I think some people are just wired to think that way and, as we get older, some people switch to thinking that way. As I get older, I get more concerned that whether or not I mentally decline in one way or the other is just random chance and genetics.

> One just has to look at Reddit to see that the younger generation is as caught up in all this as any. The study refutes that statement. I'm not saying we're invincible, I'm just saying we're less susceptible. Anyways, afa mental decline with age goes, some of it is random, some of it is genetics, some of it is lifestyle that is 100% in your control.

  Perhaps younger people don't share "fake news" because they simply don't share like that. How many people under 30 are sharing news on Facebook? It doesn't mean they're not down the rabbit hole on /r/the_donald or /r/incels. Perhaps the generational divide is not in the what but the how.
