Depends on if you think people have any free will or ability to think for themselves
- F-0X 7y agoI don't think it does. People share information and learn from each other. Hence, it is important to be responsible when providing information. We frequently see disclaimers on HN, Reddit, etc. like "IANAL", so as to put forward a point of view while warning it shouldn't be taken too seriously as actionable advice. It's the sensible thing to do. Anybody spreading anti-vaccination propaganda has been convinced of it themselves.
- banads 7y agoAssuming any random stranger on the internet is a licensed lawyer is stupid. Blaming other people for your own stupidity is a great way to avoid the responsibility of thinking for yourself. If we want adults to act like adults, we shouldn't treat them like children.
