I think social media is directly responsible for that.
I was just listening to some Christopher Hitchens videos yesterday and was reminded of just how articulate and elegant his arguments were.
Compare that to modern "intellectuals" like Jordan Peterson. Complete rabble rousers.
Social media has allowed cowardly arguments to be made mainstream and that has weakened our total global human B.S. detector by a ton.
Imagine crypto had to be popular without social media. It would have been ripped apart just like Marc Andreessen was ripped apart on that podcast for his intellectually vapid ideas.
It is really a shame how much harm social media has done to our species.
