We should always fact check things we believe we know and seek additional information on topics we are researching.

Yay yet another person saying that primary information sources should be verified using secondary information sources. Yes, you're right it's great actually that in your vision of the future everyone will have to be a part time research assistant to have any chance of knowing anything about anything because all of their sources will be rubbish.

And that's definitely a thing people will do, instead of just leaning into occultism, conspiratorial thinking, and group think in alternating shifts.

All I have to say is thank fuck Wikipedia exists.
