No matter how
ignorant, confused, misinformed or deranged you are, you
can almost instantly find web pages that agree
completely with and support all your ideas.
Is there anything worse than
the internet/web in terms of impact on education and reasoning
ability? Yes, probably the smart phone. It seems to be
addictive, and to consume all waking hours. But it offers not so
much more access to disinformation and counterfactual
nonsense... instead it plugs the user directly into the void,
into nothingness, into the vacuum, into a complete means of
disposal of unwanted consciousness!
