¡Veracity! that's the key word and main thought here.

And since everyone through these last years have had and still have way more abundant, easy, and in a democratic way, access to exponential huge amounts of the exact same shared info and supposedly knowledge simply & barely at the very lazy reach of their own hands. Every piece of that content gathered thru the very same informational/educational media outlets.. Well, everyone suddenly has been transformed into an Instant Knowledgeable Expert about everything & all. Yet, though, an ¡Instant Parrotable Expert!

However, in fact, nothing of this are exactly news. These human attitudes & behaviors always have existed before also, without us really noticing. Because before of the internet era it simply was way more hard to stumble upon and end up in front of the very same info/knowledge/truths/facts that exist and were/are happening out there every second. Before internet, we needed to individually chase, forge & gain info, knowledge, expertise, experience and real wisdom invariably through reading the right books, science journals, specialized magazines, digging and diving down into forbidden, unknown, arcane & underground sources, socializing and networking physically and in real time with the supposedly true fountains of knowledge to which not everyone and their dogs had access to, etc, etc, etc. In summary, a good chunk of years ago this all was harder to find info, accurate & veracious info, not common massive infoxification ¡that is!, true knowledge and actual wisdom before dare to open our big mouth to repeat or assert anything at all. Unless.. you actually did your homework first and wearing your daredevil questioning, inquisitive, renegade and maverick hat, you went ahead to look for and search, research, contrast, experiment, chose & pick up the damn correct pieces of the knowledge puzzle and luckily grab and put all that shit together with only those pieces which at the time looked like perfectly shaped to fit in before you were entitled to say you knew something at all. You actually needed to hold a very tangible handful of hairs of that Knowledge Hairy Beast in your hands and show it in an indisputable material way before claim you know something and were an expert about anything.

I'm afraid, after the invention of internet and this current ubiquitous mobile access to uniform, endless & infinite highly homogeneous infoxification at any time and from everywhere you are, simply in your pocket at the reach of your own lazy hand, anything is gonna get better any time soon as for what you've written in your article. The era of the viral lazy-ass knowledgeable experts has been born already and trying to separate the wheat from the chaff to find the true fertile seeds is going to be harder and harder if you take those only from the hands of any of these current Parrotable EXPERTS. :)
