How much of this do you think is created by the media and people not knowing what is true anymore?
The media, a lot. But people didn't know what was true any more in 1970 than they do now. The media just gave them a narrower range of options.
Blaming the media solely is inaccurate. How much if it is technology and better amplification and targeting?
NO ACTUALLY THE TRUTH WAS A LOT CLEARER . LIFE WAS SIMPLER BACK THEN. ASK ANYONE OVER AGE 65 THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING. LIFE WAS SIMPLER
Here’s a question I’ve been pondering. Were we better off with less options and more village like mentality? We were once also not so dispersed and most of the news you cared about was local. Now we know what goes on everywhere regardless of importance or severity.
Writing something about this issue now - we need an independent media - not driving by profits or eyeballs - but truth and data with no political lense or bias. Funded by Giving Pledge donors - who have no say in editorial content - with a revolving editorial board. Thoughts?
People didn’t know any more then, but had more mutually shared value frameworks to understand more constrained information. Deconstructionist ideologies that undergird a lot of current social theory scatter our sense making thru social media’s firehose of constant information.
We are not prepared.
