RE: Analysis: Disinformation and Infiltration on Steemit #1
you bring up such a crucial point - the people have no idea which companies to trust or who owns who, who's selling info and who is not. Even the "truthers" are infiltrated as you brought up so whwre do we even get the real info? Sadly most people are looking just for someone to tell them who to trust - they do not want to do their own research. It's very sad and concerning for the future
indeed.
Well, even if everyone on earth is telling me it's a good idea to be ignorant, I will still not be convinced.
But I will not sire a child onto a doomed planet. The problem I believe is that more children are being born than can possibly be educated in a system so complex. So the people who are at the top are like 'well if you want to have x number of babies a year well then in order for us to manage all of that, the best way is for you all to be ignorant sheep'
I reject that. The promise of the internet was that everyone could access the information to educate themselves, not that everyone could access anti-information to make them more ignorant.
Even I am the last one writing rational and reasonable posts on the internet, and believe me this is how it feels almost all of the time, then I am going to do it.
Ignorance is not strength, freedom is not slavery, war is not peace.
Courage is the virtue that makes all the others possible.
seriously!!
