Thanks Jon.
What has been squashed is my naive belief that with more and better information, people would behave better.
It's interesting to read the hateful, partisan troll responses in Medscape, for example. People who claim to be doctors and nurses but who don't seem to have a nanogram of empathy or any sense of scientific curiosity or intellectual rigor. That sort of stuff is being originated and propagated by an organized system -- not a conspiracy, for it is all out in the open -- a system which apparently intends to amass power by simply eliminating all non-believers and other enemies. And those folks are very clever; well educated people fall for their lies.
