14. Not a bad take on it ...

"Today, there are television networks..." I think this paragraph illustrates something important, probably more unique to USA than elsewhere. In short, information is now coming at us so fast it's exceeded human ability or learning to filter it. When some of that info is serving a purpose opposite to factually inform, we got a mess.

Exchange students we've hosted are always surprised at the barrage of advertising invading every aspect of our environment. At least the advertising is mostly honest in purpose of wanting your money. But still it's layers and layers of studied psych persuasion. I can see why people stop accepting information at some point, the bucket is already full. Especially if new info is discordant with what's in the bucket.

Geez, your post merits hours of discussion. Thanks!
