    The internet on its own is not a solution given anyone can make a website and say whatever they want on it.

    I was arguing with a guy here on Lemmy who though nationalpriorities.com was a more reliable source of information than Wikipedia.

    People need to be taught how to use the internet, how to find sources for the information and filter out lies and falsehoods. That takes a good education, which many people lack.

      a lot of people dont trust the school system or modern research and studies, its quite sad and i’ve no clue how to counteract that.

      people who think school is liberal brainwashing arent going to listen to school when it teaches how to critical think.

      Idk, school should get more funding, but again i think its that guys fault for thinking that.

      dont get me wrong, that guy should also get the resources they need, but like…cmon…
