Internet Stupidity

in #internet3 years ago

I just think that the fact that we have these vasts amounts of information has also led to us being overexposed to faulty information. People might be stupid, put now those people have become opinionated. For example someone who scrolls on social media on a daily basis will get shown dozens of clips perpetuating different ideas or statements that might sound intuitively correct but the viewer wont care to fact check it themselves. I suppose this makes those people just inherently stupid but i guess my worry comes from the increasing amounts of dangerous stupidity.
