I see. You should probably have explained your extremely open question better.
I agree with you on both points.
A lot that can be attributed to malice, can be attributed to stupidity and ignorance. It is said. But out of that set, a lot is probably misattributed and should be attributed to practical coordination challenges.
Competing short-term incentives cause this a lot. Each agent has limited information about the others, so incentives are misaligned. This helps explain both points.
Sidenote on the feedback on my comment: Wow, a lot of disagreement, but nobody bothered to challenge it with logic or facts. My claims when applied to rhe goal of society getting better informed and average rational decision making improving, are informed by a vast amount of sociological data, economic data, and government statistics from the EU and UN. So why no comment to motivate disagreement? Was the style too casual and not pretentious enough? (This was a big bias on LW already 15 years ago). Or is the average LW:er so quick to jump to their own conclusions? Or is there perhaps a lot of US anti-woke bias even here? I don’t know and I won’t know based on this feedback.
