It is not debatable that we live in both an era of infinite communications and an information dark ages at the same time. For years now, for instance, the Assholes with Casseroles (tm) group Moms for Liberty have successfully banned books from schools across the country, and attempted to ruin the lives of countless librarians, despite the majority of Americans disagreeing with them. Search engine and social media algorithms have effectively validated fringe and/or false beliefs, and pushed anti-intellectualism and huckster snake oil upon the masses, resulting in vaccination rates dropping to dangerous levels, amongst other horrors. Further, state governments (you know which states) have ignored the fact that investing in higher education helps their states as a whole, and even attracts more business to instead fight invented culture wars for.
