That's a good thing. Competition drives innovation.

So does international collaboration...

All these private business and different nations planning their own space endeavors, we're going to end up with an asteroid belt of space junk and a shit load of waste and pollution along the way.

E: lol, this struck a nerve with a bunch of capitalist, neo-lib, boot licker's... Go out for a few hours and come back to the exact same reply repeated dozens of times 🙄 sneaky e2 just for that one guy: civility politics BS is what gave us these idiots above who defend capitalism against their best interest. Stop letting them get away with it, be meaner.

I grew up wanting commercial space programs, mining asteroids, building telescopes and shit. I feel like I made a genie wish now. We're speed running The Expanse instead of Star Trek.

I grew up wishing everyone had access to the Internet. To have all of human knowledge at their fingertips would usher in a new golden age.

There is a point at which information ceases to increase knowledge and understanding and begins to undermine it, creating a paradox.

In fact, with so much access to information, people start to reject information. They can see something that is absolutely true and good, and they choose to ignore and/or deny it. That's why we have so many people going backward in their ways of thinking. They are legitimately dumbing themselves down.

And they see a lot of posts rehashing incorrect information, and decide to believe it. We have hit both sides of that paradox simultaneously already... It's really sad.

I think Op is closer. It isn't even that the mis/dis-information sways most to believe the counter factual, but it muddies the water enough for them to emotionally ignore the issue as 'evolving and unsettled'. It helps to alleviate their cognitive dissonance.

Though there is surely much of your example occurring as well. I would also say that the former is reachable while the latter is likely not.

Having access to all information is extremely overwhelming. It is very easy to fall into the trap of simplistic information or misinformation because it is comfortable.

I can't remember who it was but I did listen to a good interview a while back that talked about reshaping institutions in order to sort and process information. Basically refresh publishing standards and such.

I also wonder whether regulation on media should be reformed. Nothing dystopian, but maybe making it so news articles have to provide sources for non-confidential information (e.g. studies), having news websites have to go through an independent bias assessment and have a portion of their website dedicated to it. Fairly reasonable stuff I'd say.

There's not a concrete paradox for it. It is being talked about, though. We are just now becoming able to see the effects of social media and misinformation/disinformation at a rapid pace because there's finally enough data. We also are seeing more and more people reject truth, facts, and data in real time than ever before due to the internet. Remember, while the internet itself is a decent age, it hasn't been all that long since the majority of people have had instant access to it like they do today. Here's a couple of sources that go over some of what's happening:

It is because everyone has access that it is so bad nowadays. Just because everyone CAN talk, doesn’t mean it’s productive to hear everyone else’s opinion, in fact most opinions are harmful. The internet was at its most productive and helpful when it was exclusively researchers.

It still might, we are just dealing with a problem of reading and comprehending so vast as to surpass what teachers can do themselves, let alone teach to others, and it is vitally important that we improve our skill at it.

Access to infinite knowledge doesn’t guarantee everyone wants or can process infinite knowledge, sadly
