To society
Follow history about the time of the invention of printing, and book making. A colossal avalanche of creepy things began to appear in books during that age of new distribution.
Imagine the minds in that age going into a sort of mental fantasy especially too consider the world was very ignorant. The majority of the planet still thought the earth was flat. The mental proportions in weirdness at the time had to be incredible.
With the Internet the sort of the same thing is happening again, but in a deeper more profound way through education and learning, however from my view many who are sharp in mental reasoning realize the extraordinary symmetry between goodness and pure evil reflected in computer written material.
My skills have already improved to understand a lot more than just depending on the mainstream media. Or mainstream education. That is the real threat to the status quo.
That is about the one percent. Thom Hartmann sifted out a very important ingredient in the social recipe, that controversy of Darwinian theory related to the best surviving in life.
The majority here on DU notice how creepy it is that a huge amount of these very rich people, or powerful politicians are so empty in the basic gift of perpetuating life even though we hear thoughts like Right to Life, or a Living Wage.
Yet many vote in irresponsible idiots to office that just profiteer in office, besides at every turn, improving the current corporate definition to trample America.
