Internet Arguing

Is it artificial social manipulation artificially reducing I.Q.?

"Red is better than blue!"
"Nuh uh! Blue is better than red!"
"No green is better than blue and red!"
"Me and blue can agree green is worse than red and blue!"
"Red, blue, and green are all wrong! Purple is better than red and blue because it takes away the bad and leaves the good!"
"You're turning green into purple!"
"I like pink hats."
"I like red hats."
"I like orange hair."
"I don't like orange hair."
"I like speak free."
"Speak free bad."

Literally The Internet everywhere now
People don't see how irrelevant the ideas they are interested in, are. Instead of understanding that it is the relationship to an objective that makes something good or bad, people seem to be stuck with the concrete cases, without agreeing on an objective. If there is a way to phrase the truth of morals, then it should have the following format: "If the objective is to ___________ then this solution would at least be more directly positively (in the direction of that goal) impactful towards that goal."

It makes me sick that such is the way things are, something which forces me to be not as open-minded as I would like to be. I don´t want to feed on shit, so I choose the online platforms I feel can nurture me well.

Don´t get me wrong... I love mankind. It is just going astray in my understanding. I am a bit pessimistic... but BIG change is coming. Not sure in which direction/s, though I tend towards pessimism.
@iBishop I did allude to the definition when I wrote it the first time around... In this context, positively simply means "in the direction of the established goal".
