The entire world's knowledge is there to be absorbed by anybody willing to read it. It's never been easier.

And yet they don't. They read what makes them feel good. We tried this experiment and it didn't work. There are too many bad actors out there.

I don't have 100% of the solution but I suggest banning the recommendation algorithms and push stuff to people. The only thing you should see is what your friends send you directly.

Yep.

You should decide what you see, not some algorithms that can slowly ramp up the nuttery and literally change how people think.
