Putting the whole woke bit to the side there is a legitimate discussion about facts and the right to check "sources / do your own research"

It is an area I am trying to naviagte with my kids.

You teach them that a heap of what they see online is not real life (to help with body image issues etc) and to have a critical mind but at what point do they trust a source?

When there a flat earth society with large mass appeal primarlly driven by people doing their "own research" i am not sure what the result is.

As an example I am sure there are many on here who feel justified in doubting the reporting of the ABC over other news sources ( i was questions over this in an early post here). I guess what i am trying to say are we heading to an era when facts are dead and everything is subjective? (and to be clear not something I would enjoy!)

Facts aren't dead .. they remain facts ... but you're 100% correct in your concern regarding educating people to recognise them .... our only hope is that the younger generation are still part of an intelligent species and will work it out ...

Perhaps it will be this issue that ushers in (SER8's) totalitarian state .. rather than politics, economics or religion ...

To be honest i think it might be the case

I agree, except for your usual joke about pretending I want a totalitarian state, which obviously I do not. Putin, Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump on the other hand...
