I'm pretty sure you have that exactly backwards, ironically...

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

If you avoid 100% of information by for example being dead this does work.

Doesn’t seem any better to me tbh
The best way to avoid information is to avoid misinformation? Maybe you meant something else.
Edit:
Am I missing something?
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.
The best way to avoid pollution is to not breathe.
I'm ok with this, it highlights the same exact thing. To avoid air pollution you would have to stop breathing because all air is polluted.
Radical disinformation is death, because matter itself already is information.
Try to make breakfast without encountering information.
This is hyperliteral, but ok. In this case we are talking about the information from our senses. Well, our senses fail us all the time. Ever misread a word? Ever mishear instructions? Cross your index and middle finger then run the tips of those fingers down the bridge of your nose. Done correctly you will feel two noses.
