It’s rather scary when a site gets as powerful as you mentation that people believe any information found format is correct. Even more so when the product understands the kind of power they wield and for a price they allow others to manipulate it to their own will.
It’s why I don’t pay attention to just one side of things but as many sides as I can. The issue here comes down to how “busy” everyone is in keeping up with their Instagram’s and other things that get in the way. They are very too busy being distracted that they no longer think or have any concern over cross referring and having multiple sources before they draw their own conclusion. So they just stick with one.
When you think about it it’s been like this for a very long time. Even the older generations have that “one” they trust that gets on tv every night and has for past 20 or 30 years and told them everyone will be fine. When someone is being paid millions a year just to read the nightly news people should question more.
It’s nothing new or nothing old. Just changing of the guard. Still the same old same old with a new bow on it. Every generation has had its own distractions and time restraints to not spend the time needed to investigate things further. Which is how it has always worked.
Very true indeed! People have always been rather lazy creatures of habit, but technology amplifies that fact.
Glad to see you around! How are you?
Feeling like an average person these days tired and lost in life.
End of the month goings start taking a Supply Chain Fundamentals course. If nothing else it should be a challenge. Bit rusty on my maths and I never did take pure classes in statistics or calculus. I’m hoping for a few nights of me bashing my head on a wall being frustrated and not completely understanding. Should be a blast!
I still got find time for some research and try and rate its quality and “worthiness” its bit of a strange path to attack from in getting education on a topic. Always hated standard classrooms anyways with how ineffective in time management they are and class clowns trying ruined it for everyone else even when they are paying money. Which I find such a strange waste of resources; but, I guess that is just how some cope with getting through life.
I too have found it's helpful to have a goal to work toward (such as passing a course) when feeling down. It helps keep your mind away from the negative and instead toward progress. It sounds like an interesting course BTW. You'll do great...
Hope you guys staying nice and safe with all those fires going on.
Oh yes, we're fine. The air was very smoky for a few days, but it seems ok now. The Skirball fire was the one closest to us. Thanks for checking in! Hope you're doing fine too! I'll try to make some posts soon, but have been far too busy lately. :)
