Earlier I was claiming that Facebook had not added anything to culture. Not true: It gave us The Dress.
We could have learned from that even the sense that we trust the most and consider to be the most objective one can raise two interpretations.
We could have leaned that ‘those people are wrong’ is not as strong of a statement as we might think. Of course there is a reality, and of course it matters how far we are away from it with the stuff that jumps around in our heads. We should have learned that what jumps around in our heads is not automatically and always the right view on things.
We didn’t learn. We elected a reality TV star as President. And we get the result in 150,000 Covid deaths.
