Like social networks breeding political stupidity, mob rule and demagoguery?

Exactly. Political parties spend most on social networking teams now! look at India! Entire elections are based on fake news spread on social networks. Nobody cares about healthcare, economy, jobs and of course education. Obviously if you educate people then they will start judging everything rationally just like we are doing on this thread ;)

I don't believe any of these problems are unique to this state of technology. If you dig into the history you'll find that politics is frequently a very dirty and irrational business.

Clearly you are not one with the body. You must be purged! :)
