Most people who spread misinformation deliberately tend to have low confidence, seek social validation, and have highly forced extroversion. These people don’t care about the accuracy or validity of the information they channel because their only goal is some form of social dominance and their low confidence continuously accounts for their reinforced cognitive conservatism. Furthermore these people tend to honestly believe the misinformation they push so long as it contributes towards their social goals (gullible yet forceful).<p>If, somehow, these people could be altered with different non-social goals it would cure a substantial portion of the problem.
