I wouldn’t get too excited. Humans as a whole aren’t particularly smart and it only takes a small percentage of bad actors and super dipshits to spread misinformation like a cancer no matter what platform you’re on.
Our species wasn’t prepared for the internet. We should be adding courses to public education teaching how to separate fact from fiction and how to find and utilize reliable sources, but instead we gleefully elected a party that ran on deconstructing the public education system.
Oops.
The Thing. You come across a guy that’s infected but still alive. Clearly on the verge of turning. He gives you vital information then says
“If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.”
And proceeds to blow his own brains out.
Boss move. Much respect.
