Its the type of magical thinking that also says "yes to fix obesity we just need 75% of the population to buy more expensive, less tasty, and more difficult to prepare food, and to gain more self-discipline, and to make more time for exercising. Its simply CICO". "The reason people are smoking is they need more discipline to resist their peers and all the advertising". When its clear that humans have a nature, and it doesn't really change. So in the same way, expecting a population with average 100 IQ to suddenly become discerning, diligent, credulous, scientifically minded, wary, etc. is just ludicruous. The average person is just reading headlines for like 15m at the store, in traffic, smoke break, etc. not doing a thesis every day. If they see a video of politician saying "Quit your job now, I'm handing out $1M to everyone who votes for me" they aren't going to do a deep dive to determine if its deep fake, they will just accept it. I personally have seen two or three cases of myself or someone I know getting duped by fake info, about meaningless trivia, but just the result of a quick google like "is so and so dead" or "did so and so break up" and got wrong info, because I don't care enough to do the deep dive to invalidate it.
