theres something to say for specialization too, and not having a population where everyone knows the same things and nobody really has any rare valuable information

Russian folk/black metal is good

well the article doesn't really specify what kind of information is important and what kind of information we are missing, or what information we should be knowing

it's just a generic talk about the paradox of ease of access thatis actually making it less accessed

Ppl are softer now. Its easy to mold people

The problem lies in peoples lack of conviction.

we should be more informed now then we ever were through history because everything you want to know is a google search away.... yet it's moved the complete opposite direction

I would disagree.

Its like people dont want to argue the facts, its easier to have the screen tell then

informed about what?

being informed is not a binary yes/no state

Just things in general. Including science.

i dont know what we should be informed about

Does me knowing what pewdiepie's last video was about, count as knowledge?

Depends on how relevant it is

Since its a sign of culture

knowledge must be relevant?

And people really want him gone for a reason

Informed about Christmas music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlXaI3m2eqk

Christmas used to be important :(

even what is relevant depends on how you define it
something can be relevant to your personal life, or it can be relevant to what you care about for the world

But see, people dont even value much anymore

So whats relecant doesnt matter

Don't they?

They value their own comfort

Thats about where a peraons relevancy stops at

I agree with you people only argue and whats important to them, like 2 nerds arguing star wars vs star trek

Idk, you two seem to think people have changed a great deal. I'm not seeing it.

But if neither cared, its easy to change their mind

Or fill with misinformation

not knowing the policies behind the abortion debate because you spend all day in echo chambers of equally uninformed opinions, spouting the echo chamber byline and not having so much a stance as a tribalistic confimation biased emotional response is the type of change it is about. Before all of this everyone involved needed to research and learn about it, now social media eliminates any and all research and instead forces us into echochamber circle jerks of equally uninformed people @Paradox
