any idea on what as citizens we could do to overcome such fundamental issue?
one thing I am sure, and it is that something has to change
Citizens can already choose to consume unbiased news sources. The thing is, many of them choose content that confirms their own biases, because clickbait and fear porn works really well with our 15-second attention spans.
Education would be the long term answer - critical thinking etc - but that's very boring and can't be solved by a tech startup. Stupid people are easier to mold into preferred shapes so I would assume that
less education is going to be the trend going forward.
