- ben_w 3y agoI'm not disputing that, I'm saying there's precedent to expect it will wreck societies.

Watching video is far more engaging and entrancing than reading books to most people. Video can be broadcast and consumed by huge numbers of people _much_ faster than written text. Unless someone is reading text out loud, the people around them aren't influenced. In court, especially the court of public opinion, video is currently infallible.
