A good read.
From Debinze this nicely written piece by Chris Hedges. Much of it feels true, particularly the level of debate historically, but it leaves the impression a literate populace that chooses to read more would help us solve problems and make reality-based decisions. Given the complete collapse of journalism this election season, I disagree. Secondly, an educated populace is also susceptible to cultural and political advertising and to obfuscation, maybe not as susceptible, but enough to perpetuate the sad state of affairs he describes. Some walk into the echo chambers willingly, others don’t even recognize the echo chambers, but the result is the same.
