I upvoted you because I agree with your main point, but I think you're veering into conspiracy teritory with that last paragraph. Who the heck would benefit from such a broad "attack" anyway? Much more likely that it's group dynamics (or trend or whatever you want to call it).
- bjornsing 15y agoAgree, a coordinated conspiracy seems incredibly unlikely. :) I think it may actually be very simple: a wast majority of people know they have no chance of being a "lone genius", and that it would therefore not be beneficial for them to promote geniality as a leadership quality.
- aiscott 15y agoThe Media are a group (or several large groups) and as such as subject to group-think like any other group. I believe a lot of conspiracy related accusations could be attributable to the natural tendency toward group-think.
