Sadly, the ubiquity of computers and the internet have also enabled disinformation and denial of information and truth at unprecedented scales.
- agumonkey 7y agoIt's actually not far from my previous point. Seeking truth when you're not aimed for it or understand its limits reverts to ~tribal and emotional reflexes of trust and influence, a large opportunity for disinformation. And is the sour parallel to relating to others mostly emotionally (except anger). The difference is that people are sold 'pure <sourced> information' as a new paradigm.
