if you had to pick one, do you prefer polished, curated, “civilized” view of the world from that times, or todays onslaught of lies, disinformation and conspiracies ?
- Mountain_Skies 10mo agoWhich one do you think is democracy?
- tguvot 10mo agoneither. given that democracy is form of government and not preference for (mis)information distribution
- iamnothere 10mo agoClearly today’s onslaught of lies, disinformation, and conspiracies. A lot of good information comes along with all the bad. Before we had the internet, many things were done with my tax dollars that I had zero insight into. These days, even though I can’t do anything about it, at least I’m aware of the parade of horrors around the world. In some cases I can even make informed decisions based on that information. I’d rather have fellow voters making decisions based on an abundance of information, some of which is bad, than a carefully crafted set of information that’s designed to steer voters toward a limited set of outcomes.
