People seem more reasonably cynical about things nowadays and not taking everything at face value (not entirely, you see some obviously fake/outdated/debunked shit circulate still, but I think watching people you know fall into insane conspiratorial misinformation rabbit-holes in recent years helped a lot of peoples' skepticism...) which is nice, but bless your hearts some of you would fall for the Alexandria's Genesis post without a second thought

#not art #vena vents #I mean aside from shit you see kids fall for but they're kids you expect that lack of critical thinking from them #that's not surprising #People have always had to debunk shit online but I think people generally go ''hmmmm doubt that'' more often #A lot of people were WAY too trusting of info online in the 00s despite a lot of computer safety classes emphasizing not all info online #is true lmao
