I blame social media. We have moved from shared media and expertise presented to us (including it’s faults) to listening the loudest and most obnoxious voices in the echo chamber of your choice.

We really do need social media regulation; instead of them being dopamine engines to fuel advertising there needs to be some semblance of control and exposing people to more than their chosen echo chamber or preferred content. It’ll be difficult to do, but doing nothing is patently leading to the breakdown of our societies all just to line the pockets of American tech billionaires and shareholders.
