How do you educate or better yourself with that theory?
You can alternative views. You can't have alternative facts. That's the difference.
Defining fact v fiction these days is getting harder and harder though.
The media publish that much crap you don’t know what to believe.
Granted, as Corona Man noted earlier the majority of us ( I would expect ) don't watch Studio 10 and The Project to get informed, we source it from numerous agencies and make up our own minds after consuming the information.
Those agencies, sources, are rarely from social media platforms and forums driven by people with like minded views to mine. Ie - anti-vaxxers source their anti-vaxx propaganda from other anti-vaxxers, not from clinical physicians.
I was speaking for myself there, not commenting on where others source their info from, you are most likely correct though Boon. I try to take in a range of views, from what I consider reliable sources. Apache mentioned youtube, not one I'd go for, but that's just me.
It's been an interesting convo on here today, with LM & Amber making valid points too.
