Just finished reading your post Useful beats truthful: Survival and repetition of ideas in the information ecosystem. I never thought about it, but it really is. Now Ukraine is not only a battlefield of two armies, but also an informational battlefield. Every day we are bombarded with thousands of informational messages, most of which are false or not entirely true. Everyone tries to tell his own truth, which is beneficial to him. We even have organizations that specialize in refuting fakes. It is a very difficult job to look for evidence of the falsity of certain reports. But despite the refutation, false information often lives for years if it is very beneficial to someone.

It is worth noting that now some regions of the country actually live in a different reality, since their information field supports only one point of view. It can also be an example that our reality can be different if we imagine it differently.

What happens when you can use implants to directly link two or three or 100 brains?

A very interesting question. Could it become something like a biological supercomputer?
