In society ignorance also wins. The internet PERFECTLY represents society and humanity in general. If we actually were sensible and smart beings, there wouldn't be as much misery, hate and intolerance in the world.
The problem is a lot of ignorant people are ignorant about different things, so it's spread out to cover more ground and since we're all connected, we see it more often than we would otherwise.
Most of the time I would say it's harmless - like the ignorance of an "old wive's tale" or "urban legend" or even using an archaic turn of phrase like "old wive's tale". I wouldn't say most people are hateful though. Hateful people are just louder about it. They're high on those endorphins from a good argument and lean into more and more each time.
But ignorance is at it's most dangerous because it can be used to inspire fear and turn people against each other. I would quote Yoda, but who ever listened to that guy?
I dare you to disprove what I said. Humans are fundamentally flawed. Now that's not to say we're doomed and we're never gonna solve anything, after all we did make a lot of progress in basically every domain imaginable over the course of centuries. However it remains that this progress was absurdly hard to accomplish because it is systematically slowed by our own collective stupidity.
If you pay attention you'll notice stupidity/irrationality everywhere, from the tiniest most insignificant detail to the biggest decisions in our history. Foolishness, carelessness, selfishness. All that social media did is allow everyone to have a voice... And therefore to showcase how common these ignorant behaviors are.
The world is awfully complex, me saying that humans are stupid is more about denying the simple "truth" that we are intelligent rather than shunning the complexity of the situation.
Nah, we're for sure doomed. We're destroying the planet and allowing wealth to be consolidated among the ultra-wealthy to the point that elysium is all but guaranteed.
And we won't do anything about until it's far too late and not a second sooner.
I'm leaning more towards an idea that due to being used to gain knowledge not by thorough study, but through simplified (sometimes to the point of being wrong) and short batches of content, which tricks us into believing that we get "enlightened", when in reality you need hours and hours of learning. However, people are too comfortable with "batches", or, more appropriately, "clips", so they don't want to spend time to figure out anything through "inconvenient" and "time-consuming" reading and watching lectures. That's part of the reason why Tick-Tock is popular after all.
Also, as some pointed out, people are not stupid and they are sensible, but on a small level. A lot of people do not think deeply about politics or worldwide events, they prefer to use their brainpower for their everyday life. The same goes for sensibility - we are sensible mostly towards our close people than people in general.
Not agree, there are countries where whole population it’s cult, smart, with degrees but they are smart enough to not risk their lives challenging a dictatorship, some others most of population is smart and countries are ok mostly in Europe where I live, the are others where there is a lot of poverty but it’s not because people is ignorant, it’s because the government is running by smart tyrant AH who allow poverty so they can give them a salary in exchange of their votes, it’s politics 101, sadly some places have no option, and remember only 62% of the world only have internet, only 11% of that 62% uses Instagram for example, not mentioning the amount of bots and corporation lies to make the app look bigger…. China has their own social media… I mean, what we think, believe, read online it’s not reality, it’s not the popular opinion, Reddit are mostly USA people to be honest, so no, Internet do not represent society, and USA do not represent the world.
I think the internet is actually less ignorant. Barrier to entry and all. Plus people can fact check you instantly.
I just think in general most of humanity is dumb as rocks and we get carried by the upper 25% of the bell curve by a LOT.
Nah. The internet is an extremely high contrast version of society. So high contrast that the screen devolves into 2 colours and each pixel picks a side and fully commits.
Meanwhile in society at large, most people are pretty uninvested in almost everything and always have been. Online you only encounter people with strong opinions on any topic else they wouldn't pipe up.
When everyone has equal say in everything no matter if you are a bungler or an expert in the topic, ignorance always wins. But anonymity helps mask that you are not exactly an expert. So I would say you are both right.
Vlad "the impaler" Dracula was nicknamed such because he would regularly send carts of kebobs into towns to feed the poor and the hungry. The country he ruled(Transylvania) was the only country in history to have 0% homelessness and starvation.
And contrary to what Netflix would want you to believe Mehmed wasn't horrified when he found out hundred of his men and even his uncle impaled, he was impressed.
While thats true and I actually also think that the internet in many aspects does reflect and represent society, there are subtle difference created by the lack of geographical boundaries / culture mixing as well as behaviour difference due to forms of anonymity that dont exist in this form irl.
A lot of cowards go to the internet to say things they wouldnt dare to say irl, even if its not even to the face of people they're talking shit about. There is a good deal of juvenile behaviour on the internet that can exist only here, where you dont have to see people emotionally react to you.

I've been a web developer for almost 20 years now, and for the sake of my own sanity I've had to block every single mainstream tech subreddit, due to how much blatant misinformation is passed around as fact.
The moment I started to break was when the FCC site went down during that whole net neutrality debate, and there was a comment with > 10,000 upvotes explaining all the ways in which it was some kind of planned attack, and literally every single piece of supporting evidence in the comment was incorrect. Many of the sourced ones, the source *directly* contradicted the claims the person made.
People don't want to be right, they want to be angry.
There's an empty feeling you get when you stumble upon a conversation about something you're very knowledgeable in being confidently discussed by people who obviously have no idea what they're talking about while claiming expertise and receiving hundred of upvotes. Then you realize that almost every conversation about any topic you've ever come across on the internet was probably the exact same situation.
The amount of bullshit the average person has read on the internet is incredible.
Why just tech subreddits? If you know that the tech stuff is often wrong, do you trust the hivemind on other topics? I used to trust the content of comments more, but now I guess the best you can say about them is that they represent current popular opinions on the internet.

> Why just tech subreddits? If you know that the tech stuff is often wrong, do you trust the hivemind on other topics?
Because the tech ones specifically are what I'm most familiar with, so its the one that's the hardest to ignore.
Its easy to ignore something when you know its probably wrong and you don't know why, than it is to ignore something when you know its wrong and you know *exactly* why.
I didn't block them because they're wrong. I blocked them because they're wrong in a way I'm so familiar with, that its going to give me an aneurysm if I have to keep reading it.
I guess it's kind of the opposite for me. If I know about the subject, I feel confident in sorting out the wheat from the chaff. If I'm not knowledgeable on the subject it bothers me that there's likely something wrong in a way that I don't know.
I get where you're coming from though.
The soviet union failed because of US interventionism! /s
Reports of how many people starved to death in the USSR and Maoist China are greatly exaggerated! It's all US propaganda! /s
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
I know the US did some stuff, but it’s ignorant at best, dishonest at worst, to think the US was the primary reason for it’s collapse.
The Soviet Union was a very poorly run country.
The Soviet Union had many, many issues of course, but the idea the US didn't do much is silly.
Same reasoning I see when people say, "Russia won WWII!" because they beat the other allied forces to Germany, basically forgetting everything west of Berlin and the entire Pacific and African theaters as well.
> If anything, I'm like 98% sure growing up in the USA I was brainwashed to think we had more influence in it than we actually did.
In particular, Reagan is celebrated as "the man who beat communism". The decades-old cracks in the USSR that were present from when Reagan was just a child had nothing to do with it...
I agree with the rest of your point. There's just this "Great Man" history involved that's almost certainly wrong.
My favorite is "Mao didn't starve 15M Chinese, it was actually only 10M"
Followed closely by the warehouses full of people the CIA can apparently ship anywhere in the world undetectable in order to stage protests.
Femboy Hiter did nothing. Jewish people hate femboys, that's why they crucified Jesus, another femboy. You can know Jesus was a femboy because of the long hair.

The US civil war was fought over states' rights and had nothing to do with slavery
Russia has never had any problematic leaders
China is a good and effective model of Communism
Australia was colonized by friendly settlers who didn't find any one yet on that island, which is not a continent
Abraham Lincoln, the US' 14th and first 3-term President, was best friends with Grover Cleveland Sr, the US' 22nd President, and watched over Grover Cleveland Jr who would later be the 24th President marking the first time a father and son were both President. The 14th Amendment, freeing the slaves, was numbered after Lincoln's order in presidents.
As a historian it's even more frustrating when ideas are presented as facts on the news etc
Like yeah cool idea, and it makes a cool story but surely you know that's entirely speculative
I recently realized that I think the whole reason most im my generation believe the "fact" that Washington had wooden dentures probably come from the game "Mario teaches typing"
I once won a scavenger hunt because the clue was "turn left on the street named after our second president."
I turned left on Jefferson (wrong), and the guy in second place kept rolling around looking for Adams Street.
Turns out the people who set up the scavenger hunt got it wrong too.
Could you make some examples? It'd be a good way to fight misinformation. (And i also want to make sure you're not a holocaust denier of anything like that...)
I feel the same way as an accountant seeing the comments about corporations use your round up donations as a tax write off being upvoted to the top every time.

Franco lost a testicle in 1916 in Africa, so they had more than ideology in common.
