The craziest and stupidest things I hear regularly are from older people. There are broad swathes of old people that, not having been raised to be skeptical about media consumption on the internet, are entirely credulous about all manner of insane dis/mis-information.

That said, it's also something I'm seeing with younger people as well.




The oldest are the easiest to swindle. This isn’t new.

Also, current media has the veneer and polish of old media which makes it difficult for the unsavvy.


Yeah, maybe it’s more hope than reality
