The best herd immunity against misinformation is everyone has access to good free education and develops analytical minds averse to bullshit. They aren't attacking public education for no reason. Divided with misinformation, we are conquered.
I agree. I also have my own pet agenda. I think people need more time to process. Our mind is taxed constantly and we are trying to squeeze everybit of life in the 2-3 hours before we have to go back to work. If people could chill for some exteneded period of time. Feel stable for a some extended period of time. They would not be so panicked all the time and be less prone to being irrational.
The best herd immunity against misinformation is a culture of fucking with one another.
