How can a population be convinced a lie is the truth? Stats from the National Literacy Institute: 21% of Americans are illiterate. 54% of Americans can't read beyond the level of a 11-year old. 57% of Americans have no education past highschool. America ranks 36th in the world for literacy levels. White US-born adults are the largest group with low literacy.

It needs updating, but it's still there, more than a decade later.

Rheingold calls for new literacy in social media

I wrote about attention and other social media literacies 15 years ago. Clearly, edu institutions have failed toeven try to teach attention control, crap detection, etc. The online commons might be a very different place if a larger population had learned to use it without damaging/deceiving themselves and others.

I started noticing this over 20 years ago, but found myself personally attacked whenever I tried to discuss it. I've had many people weirdly racialize this with whites suggesting it's atypical of a Black person to be engaged in reading non-fiction science and engineering and attacked by other Black people for reading science fiction, fantasy, mythology, and history that isn't explicitly Afrocentric.

If the medium is the message, and constant outrage fuels the media in order to sell advertising, then how can we make the situation better? The medium is not just the message, it is our environment and we collectively need new media literacy. But this is not the kind of literacy most educators and politicians are talking about.
