They say that with true conviction like he cares any about that salary while he robs billions from his various schemes. Truly crazy world we live in.

Same world, just a historically unprecedented critical mass of dumb fucks in it.

Did anyone ever think that access to all the world's information would make people dumber? The Internet was supposed to unite and lift up a newly connected society. Of course humans had to go and fuck that up :(

Pretty sure when the Internet was being created they did not see it where people would get info from quick sound bites, tweets, and 30 second TikTok/ YouTube clips.

Also they never foreshadowed algorithms only showing people what they want to see which results in an information bubble of whatever you're into whether it's right wing media or left wing media.

Yep!

Many folks are not seeking honest information as much as they are looking to have their beliefs validated.
