@wjmaggos The reason I don’t think that’s the case is because there’s nothing particularly new about questionable sources of information and questionable ideas being floated around socially.

I don’t think it’s harder than ever because it’s really not that different.

It’s just that all too many have normalized faulty reasoning and acceptance of bias confirmation instead of legitimate examination and consideration of claims put before us.

For example, @freemo asked about solid evidence here, and that’s something I see far too few people doing.

I don’t think it’s hard to figure out how to think about what’s true.

It’s just that so many people don’t.
