    I disagree. There is no shortage of information. It’s just mixed in with a shitload of misinformation, disinformation, and bullshit, garnished with slop and irrelevant garbage to also have to sift through to find anything useful.

    And we stopped teaching kids how to differentiate because we thought it would be more important to prove through standardized tests that kids are meeting curricula, but that means we all memorized “the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell” without actually breaking down what that phrase means.

      Yeah, having information available isn’t useful in and of itself. You have to be able to think critically to be able to pick out what has merit and what does not.
