Bill Gates on the good news about fake news

In an age of fake news and increasing polarization in politics and the media, Bill Gates sees big problems with the filter bubbles that impact how people get and process their information. But he also thinks those problems might actually be self-correcting.

This video is part of a series of interviews with Bill Gates on subjects from the global poverty rate to taxing robots.

I think he's underestimating the laziness, stupidity, and fear of anything unknown/different of the general public. He talks about how people want to break out of their bubbles, but his perspective comes from his own bubble of being around highly educated people. I hope I'm wrong and he's right.

Unfortunately the history of the 20th Century doesn't bear out this optimism about self-correction.

"Most people, I hope, still want to know the real facts, so they will engage in a more common set of understandings"
Facts aren't determined by common understandings.
