You do it again, double down in your ignorance. Not my fault you never studied Mastodon social media behaviors. I give you a Carl Sagan quote, you can't engage it, you can only engage Mastodon comments, not a nonfiction book. Carl Sagan isn't good enough for you to discuss.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov
You are in a cult and can't see the forest for the trees. The forest-level view is not what you claim. You are the one ignorant of #MarshallMcLuhan and handing out Pollyanna fantasy.
I've been doing this (media ecology analysis) professionally since year 1985. You come along with no credentials and your #Psychological #Denial of the reality itself.

“The human brain can protect us from seeing and feeling what it believes may be too uncomfortable for us to tolerate. It can lead us to deny, defend, minimize, or rationalize away something that doesn’t fit our worldview.” ― Dr. Bandy X Lee, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. Published October 3, 2017. Page 273. Chapter "TRUMP'S DADDY ISSUES"
“Assessing dangerousness is different from making a diagnosis: it is dependent on the situation, not the person. Signs of likely dangerousness due to mental disorder can become apparent without a full diagnostic interview and can be detected from a distance, and one is expected to err, if at all, on the side of safety when the risk of inaction is too great.” ― Bandy X. Lee, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. Published October 3, 2017. PROLOGUE. Page 5.
"the public trust is also violated if the profession fails in its duty to alert the public when a person who holds the power of life and death over us all shows signs of clear, dangerous mental impairment. We should pause if professionals are asked to remain silent when they have seen enough evidence to sound an alarm in every other situation. When it comes to dangerousness, should not the president of a democracy, as First Citizen, be subject to the same standards of practice as the rest of the citizenry?" ― Bandy X.
