'Facts' aren't nessecarily 'truths'

Nah, even before the internet we had gaps between city and country folk. If anything that line is blurring due to the internet, since it allows all there classes of people to be in the same place.

facts are what people as a majority come to accept as truth

but often, that doesn't agree with what IS the truth

Talking about tangents.

the modern internet creates echo chambers thanks to search algorithms and block lists

it's not tangential though

it's about the impetus

That's the algos and specific sites, not the internet itself. People choose to go into echo chambers.

yeah

yes and no, because if someone WANTS a certain group to exist, it WILL exist

They don't calkl them safe spaces for nothing.

that isnt' so in the real world

thats why thousands of confused democrats say "i dont know anyone who voted for trump"

in the real world, you have to at least have some degree of people skills to first organize to share even BAD ideas

It's literally for people who can't argue for themselves, so have to be somewhere where no one will question them - in other words coddled.

that doesn't apply online

so?

there will ALWAYS be people who 'can't argue for themselves'; even YOU will fall into that category

hell, the more specialized society becomes, the more we ALL fall into that category

cause we can't do everything ourselves

we can't understand all the details, read every post, be experts in everything

not enough hours in our lives

the BIGGEST issue that the Left, RIght and even Center face today is that we ALL must filter out what we deem irrelvant

trouble is, we all too often toss the baby out with the bathwater

There's a difference between someone who looses arguments but learns from them and people who completely want to avoid being disagreed with.

you seem to labor under the notion that everyone is of equal potential and apptitude

Normal people are fine with being wrong, it's a normal part or life. How else do we learn?

like everyone is an intellectual or intellectually gifted, which is kinda required to understand and argue

some are physically stronger. some are better with people and reading body language

there are all types of skill-sets that you probably have never even experienced

assuming that everyone has the tools to argue effectively is like the commies assuming everyone is willing to give up their shit like they are

the world is NEVER like you. However, because birds of a feather flock together, more often than not it SEEMS the majority of people are similar to you

Tim's world is a world you would quite likely struggle to navigate

My novel is coming true!

wonder what their pt standards will be compared to af

Given how much astronauts are put through, I'd wager it'll be tougher than the Chair Force. But that's only if we actually start forming units that're expected to go into space.
