In my experience, there's only one way out of the misinformation hole. Read a lot of competing views and keep as emotionally neutral a stance as possible. Learn why people love religion, science, alternative medicine, math, psychology, meditation, fighting, cars, guns, sailing, skiing and politics.

What's the fraction of a % of people willing to spend that kind of effort. To learn for the sake of learning, not to prove a point or show others they are right :(.
