Maybe the problem is public engagement. 25 years ago I would get a newspaper in the morning to read on the train. If something made me really mad, I could write a letter to the editor. It probably wouldn't be selected for publication. I could read the handful of other letters to the editor that were published that day, and if anything those people had to say made me mad, well, this is my stop, time to go to work aaaaand I've forgotten all about that thing that made me mad. Maybe we don't need this. At all.
