I don't understand the last part of your comment. But I wonder hard almost weekly about that flattening effect of the computer era.

People (and I at times) complained how institutions were imposing too much on whatever content (articles, music, movies). Without their curating effect, everything goes. Some say it's better because now you're sure you'll never miss a great thing that would have been killed by some radio or studio. But I'm less and less convinced of that.

I was thinking about that part of my comment and I believe what I failed to convey was that there seems to be no real cultural or educational priority to question what you see communicated on the internet, at least to my limited understanding.

I think culture needs to hit the wall and then people will re-learn that tech is not a magic bullet.
