> Yes, the solution is more speech.
I think we've reached the point now that there is more speech than any person can consume by a factor of a million. It now comes to down to picking what speech you want to hear. This is exactly what content algorithms are doing -> out of the millions of hours of speech produced in a day, it's giving you your 24 hours of it.
Saying "teach your kids critical thinking" is a solution but it's not the solution. At some point, you have to discover content out of those millions or hours a day. It's impossible to do yourself -- it's always going to be curated.
EDIT: To whomever downvoted this comment, you made my point. You should have replied instead.
