Nonsense. If anything, the nature of our civilizations have caused the atrophying of "debate muscles" and technology has allowed us, more than any other time in history, to actively research more viewpoints and narratives than ever before. The information/medium is there, the problem is the people.
- dsuth 12y agoAgreed. Anything framed as a 'debate' has only ever been two sides arguing their point, whilst studiously ignoring any potential validity in the other side's opinion. Confirmation bias is an issue, but not because of social medial. It's because people want validation of their existing opinions, not complex worldviews.
