The human race is doomed if that's the case. There must be a way to fight this.

The only way to fight it is for having false beliefs to have bad consequences, and having true beliefs to have good consequences. But the advance of civilization is basically the continual reduction in bad consequences from false beliefs and good consequences from true ones. Once upon a time, having false beliefs would get you killed and having true beliefs would help you survive. Now having false beliefs gets you Facebook likes, and having true ones gets you downvotes.

There's no way to fight it that won't be considered censorship and a violation of free speech by many people, and that won't be fought against tooth and nail on principle alone.
