RE: HOW TO STOP ONLINE HATE AND FAKE-NEWS AND CON-ARTISTS

I don't know how scathing this review is, since I fundamentally agree that thinking and learning are the solutions for this and other problems.

But I think your disease metaphor is off, since its presicely the 'germ theory of disease' they are following by trying to quarantine and eradicate 'hate' or whatever poorly defined concept they are worried about on social medias.

    So, let's look at cholera for example.

    If I simply quarantine and or shoot everyone infected with cholera, will that "solve" the cholera problem?

    Uh, no.

    What we should do is treat (help, not ostracize or demonize) those "infected" with hate (by teaching them logic) and prevent others from becoming "infected" with hate (by teaching them logic) and cut off the source of the "infection" by "cleaning" the drinking water (official public discourse).

    Fighting hate with anti-hate is a fools-errand.
