As a human survival trait we need to find a way to shut down misinformation. Knowledge is our path to survival as an animal. Like ants have teamwork and building, wildebeest have speed, plants photosynthesise, humans learn.

By creating and spreading misinformation you're chipping away at pretty much the only thing that keeps us in existence.

Bit of a broad-strokes extreme takeaway from your comment there, but it got to me.
