Only lesson to take from this is to avoid stupidity and ignorance like a plague. Suckers went from being born every minute to being born every second. And one of the greatest three words to vaccinate from stupidity: “I don’t know”
Being humble enough to understand that you don’t fully understand something and shouldn’t speak authoritatively on it without those disclaimers and a willingness to continue growing your knowledge base in real time. Human nature makes is quick to use the most efficient and simple way of explaining something. But it’s also a placeholder for the time being while more information is gathered. It’s this part of the process that’s being entirely skipped for lies, false assurances, and, increasingly, online clout.
All the wise thinkers of the past pointed this phenomenon out and it’s a key ingredient to the fall of complex societies. Comfort in stupidity is damn near as dangerous to us atp as the climate crisis rn.
