>Q I have zero interest in Q other than that it is yet another collective entity which is self-serving opinions to an in-group, who as individuals, collectively form a consensus - whether its 'correct' or not - and strive to either grow that group or attack anyone who would act to counter its narrative. This is an intrinsic feature of human discourse, whether its with the "everyone knows those guys are crazy" group, or "everyone knows what everyone knows" group .. The point is, collective agreement is not truth. Its just what the masses think is true - and this is highly specious, anyway. For example, it was once collectively 'true' that disease was spread by miasma, and anyone who suggested hand-washing was degraded into oblivion. This factor happens intrinsically in all human relations - and online social media is not immune to it, but rather acts as a force magnifier for collectively-derived reality. What is todays "hand washing decreases mortality rate" issue, is tomorrows "this is an amazing discovery we should have paid more attention to at the time, but didn't, because 'everyone knew' it was 'wrong'" ..
