Obesity is a similar scourge, albeit it was not completely caused by misinformation.
Tbh I now see our society as a memetic organism and I think the cleansing of people who don’t understand reality is just a part of the process at this point.
- proc0 5y ago> caused by misinformation It's so deadly it requires misinformation to kill people? Why do you think it's taking years for the public to reach consensus, if this is such a threat?
- andrekandre 5y agoi think a very real problem people face is its hard to discern what is reliable information (information overload, earned mistrust in "mainstream media", environment/culture, etc)
- proc0 5y agoI agree. We're in the Misinformation Era, which is precisely why even the "official" sources are not to be trusted.
- loonster 5y agoBanning "misinformation" makes all non banned information suspect.
- andrekandre 5y agoyep, i think this is a very real paradox banning misinformation might work short term, but longterm i suspect it will further harm things... long term credibility needs to be won back the hard way me thinks...
