I can't believe I'm saying this, but China got it right with only allowing influencers with qualifications on area of their expertise to make such opinions.
Also everything you read on the internet is true
Only if support pre existing beliefs
I have a feeling this is happening with a lot of things.
A lot of homeschooled kids won’t be educated at all, for example.
Yeah, without a strong educational platform it's very difficult for someone to separate good information from bad. Public schools in a lot of countries aren't much better.
Having a baby costs 20k in the US. If you want people to stop going to these charlatans you have to make the safe options better than indentured servitude to loan companies
Darwin in practice?
You mean natural selection? This isn't a good example since environmental pressures aren't selecting traits. The lack of education and affordable health care combined with predatory algorithms have fomented a space for misinformation to flourish. And babies have died.
If you're going to make a terrible joke you can at least try to be accurate.
Who is to blame here? The people listening to these idiot are. They they did not listen the village idiot would have no platform.
Natural Selection at work.
That's not very cool. Babies died. People lost their babies.
I can only agree.
