Here's an outlandishly optimistic take on the possibilities.....as the internet and media is flooded with increasingly convincing but false representations of reality, a widespread habit of greater skepticism of "the facts" starts to spread throughout society, leading people to alter the speed at which they form new opinions on various issues (possibly degrading confidence in preexisting opinions), and the manner in which they construct their personal mental model of reality. As the frequency with which an individual's brain is fed data inconsistent with directly observable reality increases, might a tipping point be eventually released where it refuses to continue making snap decisions, and instead delays judgement until a later point in time when more information is available?

Perhaps loosely similar to being forced into a stature of "noting" in meditation: https://www.insightmeditationcenter.org/books-articles/menta...
