I love the internet but it's filled with so much garbage and lies now

[Hummin]

We had this plaque since day one, and I remember my history lessons from my schooldas, where you get the big lines, and impression of the black and white truths, but what we didnt learn, was everything they didnt teach us.

 

Continues the same way today, but at the same time bombarded with conflicting news and live stories in real time.

 

Even presented with hard core facts, many still choose to only believe one side of the stories blindly.

The EV you are so proud of would not be possible without scientists and engineers.

 

Thanks to science, you probably have a longer life expectancy, although it seems to be wasted on you.

That's one opinion, that all can agree with.

 

But you do realize, I was referring to the 'false science' people quote, that is basically 'lies & garbage' as pointed out in the OP.

 

Not the basic science the innovators used for the achievements produced over the centuries.  Try not to twist my thoughts to change my obvious narrative.

I would say more than 95% of what's online is garbage, lies and disinformation so we simply have to increase the quality of our nonsense meters to the point where we can see nonsense from a distance, and just ignore it completely. The problem is when people give nonsense credence, and when people start quoting nonsense and if it is truth.

Certainly on AN. The Russian troll bots are in full force and welcomed for generating clicks.

Honestly, some of the red hat supporters (PARTICULARLY the ones who are NOT US citizens!) make me think there must be more than a few in their midst.
