yeah, rumors, urban legends, folklore, oversimplifications, generalizations, even memes, instead of understanding or even knowing. This is due to cheap, low quality media, which broadcast and publish any crap imaginable. Pseudo-psychology, pseudo-medicine, pseudo-economics, pseudo-sociology, pseudo-everything. Just memes made out of other memes. "Sugar is bad, eat fiber". "Paper money is bad, buy gold". "Apple will expand infinitely, buy stocks". "Java is the platform of choice", you name it. And everyone is ready to approve or argue, to express an opinion, based on his own internalized memes. Uncontrolled consumption of lowest quality media leads to losing ability to see the world as it is, not as some talking heads around describe it. And all those few standard responses, ready to be displayed whether appropriate or not - not this, then it must be that. lol wut?
