My basic takeaway from all of this is MOSTLY that society isn't (on its own) capable of a real democracy. YET. I'm optimistic though. I do agree in general that we don't want any single "arbiter of truth", but given that too many citizens are being duped by objectively inaccurate news in far too large numbers, I think there's probably a comfortable middle ground we'll all be relatively comfortable with until humans no longer need this "oversight".
