"You can't deny science when you have a radio made by science and see all the electronic"
Turns out, once radios are complex enough, you don't see the electronic anymore
Or completely glued together and you get a cease and desist when you start tinkering with it.
C&Ds make great firestarters.
Admittedly they probably didn't expect an enormous, sophisticated, and well-coordinated effort to promote ignorance and push so much misinformation so as to effectively muddy the waters of that information either though.

Probably the darkest truth - modern moronity is generally by design, not by misfortune.
Having access to information doesn't help people who can't read or don't have the ability to comprehend what they're reading.
it's not just reading skills, it's also ability to cross-correlate information to other information and perform consistency checks.
Assuming all the information on the internet was true, this could have been reevaluated.
But in today’s world unfortunately internet is more fabricated information than real information
It was the lack of access to the right information. Most people won't spend hours researching a topic. Most people don't spend any time on seeking outbinformation. They only absorb whatever information they happen to come across. And liars are especially adept at being loud. So they're the first, and often only, to be heard.
In a world without corruption, a ministry of truth would work wonders. In our world, I don't know what would work.
The internet did get rid of ETI theories of UFOs and probably facts. Now we have Wikipedia and ubiquitous cameras.
Instead we have WTF is THAT UFOs called UAP, and singing abandoned buildings, but no ghosts.
Part of the problem now is fake news and we're about to lose video authentication the first time someone makes a convincing AI-generated street incident.
The fake news honestly frightens me. Lord knows what will happen because of it but there's many truly terrible possibilities
Nearly everything I've learned in my life is thanks to the internet but sure. I guess I get the point
You have to teach people to teach themselves though. Just because someone has access to a book doesn't mean they'll read it.
tbf the internet is also jam-packed with misinformation which doesn't only counteract people learning the truth, but also makes them confident about their false views
Who knew stupidity was always the lies of man
I see you, ifunny watermark.
Information has always been controlled, obscured, and distorted by capital, hegemony., etc. Not to mention nonstop brainwashing from birth.
For example... Where I live, kids still grow up worshiping flags, enslavers, enslaver pacts, capitalism, etc... And the state is increasingly denying them access to the internet/phones, alternative information, etc.
now I am curious where you live
Lack of education and critical thinking. Which people thought was because of the lack of available access to information. Yup, turns out even with access to knowledge people still wont bother to educate themselves.
Now they are blaming educators because they are voluntarily ignorant, we lead the horse to water but we cant make them drink....doesn't help when they want to call educators racists for trying to encourage a postive self image or dare I utter the taboo phrase, social awareness...
I grew up before the Internet was mainstream and I don't remember this. We all had access to basically the same information and some of us still had worse or better ideas than our peers. Access was always only one part of the equation; beyond that, you need the information to be useful and accurate (big problem on the Internet), you need the desire to engage with that information, the ability to process and understand it correctly, the ability to discern when factual information is being cherry-picked or otherwise used in misleading ways ...
If you trip over on any of those points or whatever else I've forgotten to mention, you come out the other end with bad information, access be damned.
this is why republicans fight tooth and nail to eliminate critical thinking from the curriculum--so much easier to control people when they believe what they're told without question, instead of choosing a stance based on broad daylight evidence and facts. so now we have a wannabe con man in the white house surrounded by sheep cultist followers who would literally take all the bullets for him
It is not information but the fact the collective don't own the means of information. The collective will and free thought is restrained. The collective will manifest a violent subconscious rage they will need to briedle but eventually they will get bucked as they lose the reins. Nature always wins! A non discriminate hurricane of a long time coming will reset and aligne what was once askew. Justice is coming the meek shall inherit the world. No war but the class war. The rich will hide in their bunkers, breed with and eat their children. We think tactical nukes will prevent the escalation ladder but even at the top they fight amongst themselves. Celebrate their failures.
This assumes that the accessible information serves the truth
I always knew that it was due to christianity
No I'm in my 20s.
Bro's saying this as if written and spoken language didn't count as information before LMAO.
The only difference now is the bandwidth but the information was there
