Absolutely, just like addiction to fast food causes obesity, our addiction to fast information has developed into a profound societal ignorance. Studying issues seriously takes time and effort, and if you think "ain't nobody got time for that" I'll tell you right now you're going to have to start to make time for it. Because if you don't, you'll end up knowing nothing, and being wrong about everything, and while that may be acceptable to anyone following all the other lemmings in the same direction (the double irony of "lemming behavior" being historical fake information itself, while posting this on lemmy is not lost on me), I'm also going to suggest to you there will be serious personal consequences from being wrong all the time, and those consequences are going to catch up with you sooner or later.
