We need to start teaching media literacy and critical thinking in all schools.

ABCs of 'research'

Always Be Critical. Doubt Everything, For Good.

Social media has a lot to answer for though. As well as advertisement driven Internet economics in general, driving people further down into rabbit holes when they don't have the skills to navigate it without getting radicalized.

Seeing fucking Qanon as a prime example.

It seems like a general, global sentiment to me due to the internet and not just on the internet. I think it's the combination of our society being more global than ever, and the vastly increased amount of professions due to technological advancement. There's just way too much information that an average person comes in contact with, our monkey brains weren't designed for this.
