I've lived long enough, to learn that there is not just one stupidity tax. And like you said..."Being ignorant," is more of a lifestyle than it is a bad habit(s) IMO.

And yet humanity invented this device that fits in your pocket and allows you to access unlimited knowledge. It's sad, really.

Knowledge can only take us so far. It's how 'we' use that knowledge, that matters the most. But be carful, as false information can, and has been passed off as knowledge. Knowledge: the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association

True, and as if that was not enough we now have to deal with LLM generated content feeding on misinformation and allucinated content generated by other LLMs.

That is going to get very annoying very fast.
