The only way to get to the truth is to listen to everyone’s bullshit narratives and try to pick out the grain of truth in each. This has always been the case, throughout human history.
I don’t think that’s true. If you’re properly critical of your sources, and a ton of statements can safely be ignored. And that’s a good thing too, since it’s also not possible to be closely familiar with absolutely all narratives. There’s a lot of them.
I should not have used the phrase “everyone’s narratives”. I was referring more to tribalism.
So, for example, when we start analyzing the US-Iran hostilities, we can’t trust any narrative that comes out of either the US or Iran. Recently, a school was hit by a US missile and children died, it tugged my heartstrings. I felt outrage. But then someone pointed out that the report of dead children could be a psy-op by Iran. Ok, fair point. Time to withhold judgement and check other sources for more information. In this case, it seems that the report was tragically genuine.

What do you mean “anymore”? My whole point is that everything you are seeing is normal. The misdirection, the fake news, the corruption. It’s always been there. The difference today is that information travels much, much faster than it used to.
