The media is corrupt for decades, so why the surprise? It doesn't matter how impenetrable the math is. It did not matter for the people in the age of Galileo either. In practice, only the subjective valuation of the people, which matters. Hm, i think i have just actually proved Your point :-D
I understand that. The problem is that we're lacking the resources to fight back or aren't properly doing so (with our 'own media'). The sheep needs to be pointed to the right direction.
Well, yes, the benevolent dictator problem. I slowly get to the conclusion, that the sheep is sheep exactly because it can not think for itself, nor can be reasoned with w/o "authority", hence we do need our own media. Or do not, and that is why we are the innovators/early adopters, and the "sheep" only gets in when he HAS to, not when he WANTS to!
