@freemo this isn't exactly true.
Is when they have access to the WRONG information that everything goes wrong.
@Wetrix
I disagree, things go far far worse when you have a system which attempts to dictate what information a person has access to or not. Much worse than where someone has access to all information, good and bad. We only have to look to vultures that ban certain books or worse yet resort to book burning to see why.
@freemo true. That's not quite what I meant.
Having access to fake news for example is a bad thing. It's just propaganda that warps reality to manipulate people.
I agree with having access to all info though because you can't learn from the past if you don't know it or how it happened. But you need to know the right version, not the mein kempf version.
@Wetrix
That is what i suspected you meant when i replied. Let me explain my response better.
If at a societal level you wish to block or prevent access to incorrect information then you require some oracle capable of correctly, objectively, and without agenda, determine which information is correct.
As well meaning as that approach may be any such oracle will ultimately fail since we have no way of creating or sustainable ng such an oracle.
In addition there is the second fact that nearly all factual information must be born out of ideas which have not yet been proven to be true, or i. Some cases may have been wrongly assumed yo be false. If we eliminated access to everything except the truth then all you will get is stagnation.
I need access to the flatearth wikipedia, with all its incorrect information, if i wish to be able to understand the way they think and therefore engage with them in a way that might be fruitful as well.
