Sadly I was correct in 2019 — The digital information ecosystem extends emotion through manufactured media spectacles. Traditional journalism is obsolesced by the nature of its assumption of a neutral point of view. Return to nature movements — such as anti-vaxxers — retrieve the pastoral impulse for an imaginary kinder society. We're left in a state of constant doubt as conspiratorial content is easier to access than solid scientific information.
