And every source of information has their own, like, in my mind, personal agenda behind what they're putting out there. And so I think just naturally the more sources of information you have, the more variety of information there's going to be. Yeah. And so I think, you know, on the one hand, it's good to have a variety of sources of information.

And so I think, you know, on the one hand, it's good to have a variety of sources of information.

But on the other hand, at what point is it like too many different sources of information? I also think kind of what Clarence was mentioning earlier about people. kind of seeking out the information they want. I feel like there's a lot of confirmation bias going on about how people are consuming information.

I also think kind of what Clarence was mentioning earlier about people. kind of seeking out the information they want. I feel like there's a lot of confirmation bias going on about how people are consuming information.

So a lot of times, especially because we live in such a hyper political society, I feel like folks seek out information sources of information that are going to confirm their existing beliefs. And like Clarence said, like people don't want to be uncomfortable and they don't want to step outside of their comfort zones in terms of their perspectives.

And so a lot of times it's just like, you know, and I'm guilty of this too. Like I watch CNN and more like liberally affiliated sources of news and information because that's more comfortable to me. Like I could watch For me, Fox News, which is like a source of a lot of.

Misinformation or another more like conservatively leaning broadcast or news channel, but like I'm only doing that for entertainment purposes, I'm probably not going to really let myself. hear what they're saying, because that challenges my own belief. So I feel like we're all guilty of it. But I think it's just it's a combination of so many different things.

It's hard to say what, you know, it's hard to say it's due to this one factor.

Yeah. I mean, I think... Sorry, Stan, just to jump in. I think that's really interesting, Clarence. And I think you're totally right that... there's a lack of critical thinking right now.

Yeah. I mean, I think... Sorry, Stan, just to jump in. I think that's really interesting, Clarence. And I think you're totally right that... there's a lack of critical thinking right now.

And at the same time, it's like, well, if we're presented with news and information in a way that doesn't encourage critical thinking, it's not, you know, it's like, I don't necessarily blame people for not thinking past what they're presented with when like, that's the intention behind how it's presented. You know, like the way we get information doesn't really foster critical thinking.

So why, unless you're innately curious, which I hope everyone is, even though we know they're not like, why would you question what you're confronted with when it is presented in a way that's like, this is the truth.

That's so interesting because I didn't even think that many people still use Facebook. I mean, I do, but I'm weird in my millennial generation. I feel like most of my friends, if they have Facebook, they haven't opened it in months. So that's really surprising.
