On HN alone there are thousands of Trump supporters. It's completely insane because you'd think that they have zero excuses but it does not make any difference at all.
Six months ago they most likely couldn't point out Greenland or Denmark on a map and now they have many opinions and all of them are informed by the same crazy reasonings.
- mindslight 10mo agoMy "small segment" was in the context of everyday people in the offline world, as opposed to the terminally online which HN clearly has a higher percentage of. And yes, we had all hoped that more access to information would help people reason better. But it mostly seems to help them rationalize more.
