It does, having all the humanity knowledge in your pocket is amazing and you can learn a lot which people do use to learn and get smarter. Sadly not everyone uses it that way and some just refuse to learn but that's just loud minority (I hope).
I would argue that it’s contributed to the collective stupidity of humanity on a global scale. It’s had a lot of positive impacts as well, of course. I guess the negative ones just seem more palpable.
Has it, though? I grew up in the 80s, and I feel like I simply didn't have a clue how ignorant people were or what batshit things people believed behind closed doors. Even when people disclosed to me their inner narrative, I feel like I just assumed they were joking or using extreme hyperbole.
The internet has made me realize ... they weren't joking. At all. They really believe that shit.
I'm approximately your age. I assumed the same thing. Hell, I thought crazy conspiracy theories were just people pretending "What if..." together.
In my younger days I would have been on a lot of bandwagons just to joke about the people who "didn't get the joke". It turns out I was the one that didn't get it.
