Agreed. It’s an old problem. Call it “bad epistemology” (BE).
The method of Science was arguably contrived to combat BE (or at least to offer an advantageous alternative).
Which gives us a nice spectrum. On one end strong reference to observation, delivering high-quality knowledge (IE science etc). On the other end a recursive BE machine.
Social media has turned the BE into a kaiju. A reverse scientific enlightenment.
