Understanding logical fallacy has been shown to act as an “inoculant” against fake news.
I don’t think these things reverse (time doesn’t go backwards) so much as settle as the last generation that held such beliefs dies off.
>80% followed religion in the US in ‘99. Now it’s <50%. Coincidentally about the same percent of support for conservative politics (not economics but the ephemeral civic life tradition or death type).
It’s how it goes; humans were the hard drives and CPUs of our economics until recently, and the costly in real terms old money network winds down with them. A lot of folks will feel disenfranchised, many rightly so, but also of lot rich folks today made it rich in an era of imploding pensions and gambling away others retirements, so if they get hosed, oh well.
In the end all will be forgotten and implicitly I think we know that so we just keep going.
