If you know you're beginning to lose control then having people use the "wild west" that is more disordered makes it easier to flood to prevent truths from surfacing as easily or in as high of a concentration, being able to add noise vs. people learning to associate with and use more truth-seeking systems - something like Community Notes being a good start for this.
