Evolution?
Social media has proven to me what I already knew instinctively from life experience: that the masses are woefully uneducated. The rise of willful ignorance has spiked in the decades since the advent of an internet where people can always find like-minded souls. The recent Qanon second coming of JFK junior conspiracy only further confirms what the lower intellect rungs of society will stoop to.
There is no fixing this completely; even in an era where actual information is at our fingertips. Without the power of discernment and critical
thought you can view this period in our history as the best possible time to
corrupt empty heads.
George Orwell understood this when he wrote 1984 and he had
seen enough of the world to understand how the masses could be manipulated into
movements that would derail entire nations. The reason that history seems to
repeat itself with almost mirror-like accuracy, is that the evolution of the
human mind has not perceptibly advanced at all.
