The problem with real free speech is most living people have never been trained to detect bullshit

Hard to train people to detect bullshit when you want them to buy into your bullshit and I suspect that’s who a lot of people were trained for life by. I’m not just talking about government employees in government indoctrination centers either.
It’s also possible that it’s something that can’t be taught by anything other than falling for it for a lot of people.
The problem is worse than people here realize
Nostr users are mostly too gullible to know there's a dangerous airborne pandemic happening
Pandemic-aware people are mostly too gullible to know nostr is essential to survival
Even groups full of people seeing through one bit of bullshit are unable to see through another major thing even when the stakes are worldwide day to day shit impacting billions of lives
Or... most news is unnecessary and designed to influence you to act in ways you wouldn't otherwise
Or... Sushi is japanese
What the fuck are you talking about? "Or" is supposed to be the word you put before the next option in a set of choices, not some random thing you're trying to change the subject to
You changed the subject to pandemics
So you're used to people so gullible you can just deflect like that? Funny, I just used your attempt at derailment to segue right back into how gullible you are
Fixed it/edit:
The problem is most living people have never been trained to detect bullshit.
I used to wonder how Adam and Eve were so stupid. They had only one law to keep. They were free to do everything else, but they fell for Satan's temptations, seemingly on the first try.
I finally gave them a little mercy when I realized they fell for the first lie ever told. We are used to being lied to continually, so the wiser of us, checks every statement to see if it is a lie. A person who had never heard a lie before would be much more likely to fall for a lie than those who know they need to be on the defense at all times.
The government schools teach people to blindly obey and trust authorities, so people don't learn to keep a watchful eye for lies. It is infuriating, but maybe a little more mercy is called for.
