> a problem in our society or species in general that people simply do not read things thoroughly. And when confronted with a problem, instead of going back and reading things thoroughly, they blame someone else.
Is this really a "problem in our society or species"? I would say the problem is more that everything around us demands our attention and demands careful consideration, more than we have capacity of attention to give, to the point that we tune out most of it.
There's "fine print" everywhere and if we took the time to really scrutinize most of it, we wouldn't really be getting a lot done.
On top of that, 99% of people have zero chance of understanding all the "fine print" that gets put in front of them, even if they devoted all of their time to reading it.
