Its not that society is incapable. Its more that Social Media went viral before we even had a chance to digest "this is social media", this is how you operate it.

The lava from the explosion is now cooling, the dust is settling; and we are now starting to see is the newly formed dystopian world that has been created from.

As unlike cigs, that have been around longer than the internet. We've known for a long time they're bad.

If you put me in front of someone on an operating table and ask me to operate on them I would be incapable of doing it.

That's not to say I don't have the capacity for it. I just got put in front of a patient before I had the chance to digest any medical studies.

We can learn from history. The invention of the printing press comes to mind.

But yea, it's hard to pass good practice on to future generations when the current ones don't have a clue what they are doing.
