The bulk of humanity is just as superstitious and driven by emotion as it ever was. Critical thinking was never our strong suit, but look to history and you will see the evolution of the narrative - both how it spreads and who controls it.
From tribal leaders telling stories to religious leaders and monarchs to authors and governments to social media algorithms and now Meta is implementing a bot network - control of the narrative is evolving in strange and unpredictable ways.
I remember another scare around the year 2000 the Y2K bug or the Millennium Bug. The concern was that many computer systems and software programs used two digits to represent the year (e.g., “99” for 1999). It was feared that when the year changed to 2000, computers would read “00” as 1900, causing widespread malfunctions in systems ranging from banking to utilities, air traffic control, and other critical infrastructure.
all is well …. And I still listen to nighttime radio (now podcasts).
