Most people in the world aren't well prepped to deal with this overloading of complexity. Its like constantly bombarding a bunch of second graders with tenth grade problems. There are huge consequences to that playing out right now in society.
This concept that people with access to info will develop healthy ways to parse the info by themselves is total BS. Its like saying access to a library is a kid needs to get educated. If that were true why do we need teachers and schools.
With speed and scale of info delivery comes a responsibility unlike ever before to think about the unintended consequences. Its just not happening. People are falling over themselves reporting complex things whose solutions they barely understand.
I may be accused of pedantry but you committed this error repeatedly. It grates.
Why does any story need to have an agenda? I didn't get one from this, and I would be hard pressed to find an agenda from most of the fiction I read either.
This is the story of a whole family's life and how they died. You think it's pointless to read or publish it? Why?
'Pay grade' statements weaken your statements fatally so we'll ignore them.
I'm not looking for gratification or some shortcut to a solution for a problem I'm not trying to solve but I can't understand what you're trying to say here..
Are you saying I'm wrong for thinking about what to learn from this terrible tale? Should the only people commenting on things outside their field only be allowed if they're willing to have a field of independent experts backing them up? Eh?
