  1. In Gen Z's defense, from a Boomer: Social media and the internet are all new, we are unpacking in real time what it's doing to us, how to deal with it. My guess is there is a yin/yang about online information. ☯🛰📡🖥🖱 Yin: The Dunning Kruger effect, is when ordinary people think they know more than they actually do. It's like in that Ryan Long Video "Man Whose Life's a Mess Has Middle East Figured Out" Yang: The Gell-Mann Amnesia effect, explained by science fiction writer Michael Crichton. Murray Gell-Man was a friend of Albert Einstein, Murray also won the Nobel Prize for Physics. Gell-Man Amnesia is where a very smart person can see holes in the online media, but only about things that he or she really knows a lot, about. Other things, they don't see the holes in all the nonsense out there. Some of what smart people end up believing is nonsense....because you can't know everything, even if you have access to all the information. Gen Z knows the least in some ways, less life experience than older people, yet has access to virtually unlimited information now online, that's never happened before. That's too much to sort through, too much to know what's real, what's not, what's good, what's not. How do you sort out junk from good stuff? Even smart people like Eric Weinstein are having trouble, he's become very humble.
