So in other words we are mindless idiots who will by some accident accept something as immediate truth. Information is not problematic if it is wrong. What is problematic is when we as a people are so dumb that we cannot discern for ourselves what may be true or false, through substantial evidence

But we are all influenced by big industry lobbies. I think this video is putting way too much emphasis on personal responsibility. Also, are they attacking students? Basically this is everyone except professional fact checkers.
