    And who decides what is truth or misinformation? You? The government? Don’t make me laugh.

        This is really insensitive, you are completely discounting the likely scenario where his mother doesn’t allow him indoors.

      A well informed and well educated population. What is truth and what’s misinformation isn’t really a matter of opinion. There’s reality and there’s fantasy, some people just prefer the latter. The government and myself don’t control the flow of information.

        I’d argue that the loudest people decide what’s considered “truth” by the public. Remember when cigarettes were considered healthy in the 50s and 60s, yet science previously proved otherwise? This was simply due to advertising campaigns and lobbying from tobacco companies. I’d also argue that this and similar styles of misinformation are more prevalent today than ever.

          Yes, but that was never the truth, it was a lie created by companies marketing a product. A big difference between now and the then is we have access to the vast majority of human knowledge in our pocket. Much easier become informed on a subject now than in the past. Some people just lack the skills to do so, or choose not to and live in a fantasy.
