Yes but with enough people whom build tools that amplify signal. Then the people will learn. I'm hopeful we'll shorten this delay as we age.

I haven't seen much evidence yet that the tools we're building can discern signal from noise, though they sure can amplify.

Indeed, people in this forum often seem to call attempts to discern signal from noise "censorship."

Edit: turns out I didn't have to wait long for a concrete example of that to come up. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24782944
