How do we fix this? Why is society having such a hard time processing things that aren't simple?
- colechristensen 5y agoPeople are as dumb as you treat them. You simply have to stop optimizing for the lowest common denominator and push things out that you think some people won't understand. Small children are perfectly capable of understanding very complex things, just ask a kid about pokemon or whatever kids are into these days and you'll be able to find huge pockets of complexity all over the place. Treat people like they're dumb and can't understand anything that doesn't fit into a headline though... and they'll get accustomed to that. The biggest targets should be news room editors trying to sell ads.
