    Well for the majority of human existence we got by on talking to each other in person. So I think the collapse of humanity is a bit dramatic.

    We never had the ability to con each other over so completely and in very large numbers than we do today with the Internet and specialized Networks.

    And more importantly, you always knew you were talking to another person, and not a conflict bot or an astroturfing bot, or a political party bot, etc. Now, you don’t, which is my point. We can’t solve problems if we don’t know we’re talking to a person versus a not person.

    I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss what I’m saying.
