Whereas before when TV and the local community supposedly was the source of diversity of thought, did you also have to put up with a lot of irrational bullshit that is inherent in socially propagated truth. I definitely have to deal with more socially propagated bullshit now than at any time in my history. Perhaps ironically, much more of it seems to be coming out of academia and journalism than ever before. For example, I can't think of a time when fields as patently ludicrous as "critical theory" have been taken as seriously as now. I can only speculate as to the cause.
