They stay inside their little ponds, leaking whatever “truth” suits them into the growing cesspool of society at large." This is what I see over and over online and recent years into real life. People don't talk to one another, algorithms create spirals of echo chambers to reinforce worldviews. All one has to see is how dramatically people answer polling differently based on what group they belong to. |
The internet has not evolved humans, other way around. Humans have always been this way they just evolved the way information spreads. People used to (and still do) write letters to spread misinformation or write for newspaper columns, its literally nothing new, just a different avenue.
