Ultimately technology cannot really solve this problem. People need to either learn to use Twitter less. (or not at all) or find a way to be more rational and skeptical about Twitter. I'm skeptical that this is possible, though, as even genuinely intelligent people seem to become swept up in outrage and narrative as easily as anyone else.
- freedomben 5y agoOne of the smartest people I know, who is so rational and skeptical against unknown information, will go on Twitter and see a 30 second clip that's totally out of context from some random person, but hits his confirmation bias, and he'll share it to the world. So yeah I'm not optimistic about the future either.
