People are being bombarded with low quality information and disinformation.

They get their news from people like Joe Rogan, tik tok, Facebook, twitter, and their other stupid friends.

While the "good" people are trying to share quality information (truth), which takes time and effort, the "bad" people just straight up lie. So they can flood all these channels with their lies, and people just eat it up.

What's astonishing is that the governments are just letting all this happen. Just letting these tech companies peddle all these lies without any pushback.

Only Brazil seems to be actually doing something about Twitter and Musk, for example. Why haven't other countries cracked down on Musk? It's baffling...

Yes, you can actually "brainwash" yourself this way. Every time you remember something, you're basically rewriting the memory into your brain. So every time you remember something, it becomes less reliable as it has more chances of being corrupted by new information.

So if you remember a childhood memory, then for some reason you add a detail that wasn't there before, that's the new memory.

Example: you remember going to the zoo as a kid, and you remember seeing a monkey. Then your mom shows you a photo album of your trip to the zoo, and in it, there's a picture of you watching a lion.

Next time you remember that trip to the zoo, you'll probably remember seeing a lion too, even though originally you didn't at all.

Memory is incredibly unreliable.

That's kind of terrifying if it translates to humans the same way.

Are future generations just gonna be walking around with aneurysms, limping about with reduced brain function and start dropping dead from strokes left and right at a certain age?

ABC paid $15 million, as far as I know CBS hasn't paid anything yet.

Is Trump gonna take in all those people? Maybe they can live at Mar-a-Lago. Or start a Palestinian community near his house.

Take in the 2 million Gazans and give them a nice place to live.

Let's see how Florida and his base of xenophobes like that.

And what do you do with the ones that don't want to move? Put them in a train by force and ship them somewhere? Sounds familiar?

You can try this.

It's not perfect, but whatever is missing, you can just search it up.

Have you tried an image search lately? It's fucking terrible. It's all AI generated crap. They need a filter to filter out any AI generated image.

This doesn't eliminate the paradox. Why does the contract exist in the first place?

It's a moral standard. If moral people didn't decide that tolerance was a good thing for society, the contract wouldn't exist.

So yes, thinking about it as a contract sidesteps the paradox, but the paradox still exists.

So Karl Popper was still right and society shouldn't tolerate the intolerant.

Yeah, not really. Only the Capitol Police are saying that.

I bet most cops are happy.

I hope they do and replace Facebook. But in their current iteration, they won't. That's all I'm saying.

As much as Facebook sucks, these things will never replace it.

Just clicking through them, it's apparent it suffers from the same problem lemmy has. You have to read things and follow instructions and then choose an instance....

Yeah, you lost everyone at the first step of having to follow instructions. People just want a Sign Up button, and that's it. That's the only step they're willing to go through.

If, after clicking Sign up, they then have to figure out which instance (whatever that is) they have to choose, they'll just quit right there.

Really? I thought most people moved to 7-Zip.
