We celebrate what we've done with the internet, and we should. But they discovered an interesting trait of it, and they're using the hell out of it. They've created not just one artificial reality, but two. They've created an overt Officially Approved Reality where sterilizing your children is a perfectly rational thing to do, assisted by The Science™. And they've created a covert Rebel Reality where no woman in any city over 100,000 goes unraped. There is a definite pattern of spin to the rebel narrative too.
That couldn't happen back when there were four networks. People were likely enough to have been exposed to the same thing that it was what people talked about "around the water cooler" at work. People just weren't walking around and interacting with each other despite existing in alternate realities, not they way we do today.
If we want to stay grounded in reality -- truly based -- we have to turn our backs on both these narratives. And we have to get over the fact that when we do, we suddenly have some unexpected "strange bedfellows". We need them.
