I blame social media more than Google. Looking at you, Elon.

This entirely depends on how limited your perspective is. A limited perspective leads to more negative actions and an open perspective leads to more affirmative actions. 'Organized Groups', who influence others to think like them and believe what they believe, are results of negation.

Don't do your own research, just believe in the Current Thing™. Just trust the Scientists™, they are smarter than you.

People aren't taught how to do actual research anymore and it's sad.

You can always find your own truth if you search deep enough

I've seen this myself - so you could say this article confirms my bias. People who otherwise appear to be reasonable and intelligent - they are falling for what seem obviously untrue. But after doing research, and seeing the same ideas regurgitated in many places, it gives credence to the original idea.

This happens over and over again and I think people exacerbate the problem by then engaging in dialogue with other users, where they argue and become entrenched. Now their ego is tied to this position and changing course based on new information means admitting something they'd rather not . .

So…stop using Google?

"Do your own researchs bro"

And we know understand why they all say it

My research is watching Youtube videos of people who did the research. That counts, right?
