Re: Are people less informed of the world than in the past?
Much MORE information is available, but it would be more difficult to assert that BETTER information is available. For example, I just googled "dinosaur steaks" and got 487 results.
Many more people are literate and capable of accessing the information that is out there, but many choose ignorance (not by evil intent, just by focusing on their own immediate goals/needs).
