A comment on Heavy social media use associated with lower mental health in adolescents. Parent comment
The Sea of human knowledge is too vast for any single human to traverse it fully.
But here you have people who are anti-experts, who are matched with others with similar sentiment.
And flat-earthers are a very specific example. What about politics, where facts do not matter? Or even objective issues, which got politicized?
The only thing the current social media do, is to entrench beliefs of everyone using them, without regard to what that belief is.
