Ben Carlson: Darwin’s Golden Rule

FYI: One of the oddities of the information age is that it hasn’t really led to an enlightenment of knowledge. In many ways, the firehose of information has made some people less informed.

There are people who believe the earth is flat, the moon landing was a hoax, and Australia doesn’t exist.

But beyond the conspiracy theories for many, the internet has turned into an echo chamber that only enhances people’s confirmation bias.

This shouldn’t be all that surprising when you consider how our brains process arguments and opinions.
Regards,
Ted
