I always translate this as "I can't be bothered to development discernment and judgment about what's fake and what's not". I believe that's true for a lot of people. The challenge of navigating what my wife refers to as a "disordered information environment" has caused a lot of people to give up. It feels easier to just assume that basically anything could end up being a lie. But that has profound impacts on the what people do with the info they take in.

@polotek Yes, agreed. And this applies equally to matters of global importance as it does to trivial matters. Some people, knowing that some reality TV is fake, will claim that everything on reality TV is fake.

But the only absolute in this world is that there are no absolutes, and those who cannot see that tend to have trouble understanding the complexities of reality.
