  • A new, Cold War-like agenda? Kim Jong Un gives Putin 'full support' for Ukraine war

  • That's a delightful response to my snarky comment, thank you.

    I agree, the incentive structure is such that it undermines the goals of journalism. Compounded with a firehose of misinformation, even full-time journalists must be overwhelmed.

    I'm unwilling to give them a pass, however. Their job is to report accurately, they understand the risk of reporting things that are not fully vetted, and choose to anyway. As you say, they're complicit.

  • A myopia epidemic is sweeping the globe

    Jump

  • This article is from 2018 and talks a bit about the suspected causes of increased myopia. The theory is that our eyes are responding to the environment and elongating (axial myopia). So it's not that humans have lost the ability to have good vision via selection, it's that we're adapting to screen vision.

    Your point about natural selection is well addressed by @Shawdow194@kbin.social already.
