Why?
- michaelmrose 4y agoBecause irrational fears aren't driven by in depth analysis they are driven by fitting in with a theme. If people play telephone pretty soon the tracking chips instead of being in the rind will be said to be in the cheese and either they will be used to remotely terminate undesirables* or tracked from a satellite. * People who put too much salt in their sauce.

- markdown 4y agoThe past decade of social media has proven that that isn't how the world works in practice. Lies fly all round the world before the truth even gets out of bed.
- jfengel 4y agoIt's the only way, and it usually doesn't work. Lies win, because reality is fighting with one hand tied behind its back. Truth is nearly always boring because it's forced to be consistent. Lies have no such limitations. Truth does have the advantage that it appeals to people who aren't complete dumbfucks. Which is to say, a tiny minority.
