And yet I'm here reading a comment against my high rated belief that the Internet makes information much easier to get.

The Internet does make information easy to get. It is truly wonderful in that regard.

What I was expecting with the Internet is that it would lead to a widespread increase in correct beliefs and (eventually) wisdom as well.

Certainly, some individuals do use the increased information availability to great benefit. But this isn't nearly as widespread as I predicted and hoped it would be.
