Hm, I think there's a difference between disagreeing with 'worldviews' and repeating provable lies that cause actual damage. The whole 'intellectual dark web'

Hm, I think there's a difference between disagreeing with 'worldviews' and repeating provable lies that cause actual damage.
The whole 'intellectual dark web' was built around the idea that 'every idea is worth discussing', even though it so happens a lot of the 'ideas' presented have been debunked a million times over, and the proponents usually ignore the data disproving their 'theories'.
Personally, I think the biggest damage the internet has done to the world is allowing anyone to parrot insanely stupid anti-science positions unchecked. There's no good solution to that problem, but it is important to be reminded that just because a problem doesn't have a good solution, it doesn't mean it's beyond the realm of ethics.
