We choose easy lies over complex truths. The internet has lost it's true identity in this sense.

 When I actually think about it, it’s completely absurd. We carry phones in our pockets with 40 million times the power of the Apollo 13 computers. We can find out anything in the world within a second, but in reality? I feel like we’re all just more lost in it.
 Unfortunately, the ones who suffer the most are those we care about most, our closest ones, especially the eldery. They’re caught in the middle of it through no fault of their own. They grew up in a time when if something was written down, it was the gospel truth. So, in today’s chaos, they’re just looking for some certainty, something to hold onto in this overwhelming mess.
 Sure, it hurts when they trust a stranger’s profile online more than us at home, but who among us is perfect? I make mistakes too. Sometimes I only read what fits my narrative, and then I’m surprised to find out it’s actually total nonsense. We’re all just human, after all.
 But that’s exactly the paradox. We have AI and technology that could fact-check things instantly and save us tons of time, but our human nature is stronger. Whether it’s me or my loved ones, we’d all rather find something that soothes us, gives us a dopamine hit at the right moment, or gives us a reason to march angrily in the streets, rather than searching for a complex truth that doesn’t sound as convincing or emotional as some of those posts do .
 And that’s just a shame. We have the best technology in history, and instead of using it to come closer together, we’re letting it drive us apart
