Yes. What social media has done is magnified the already tribal
behavior of believing what everyone else apparently believes. Only the
tribes are now billions of people worldwide. That's an unstable
dynamic that results in all sorts of random delusions.

The other thing we're seeing is fear, depression, and despair, over
Climate Change and other things. Lots of fear.

There is some of that, using climate as a power-mongering tool, but it
wouldn't work if not powered by so much public fear and hysteria.

I wonder if such fear and innumeracy are hereditary. I suspect they
are. If the lunatic greenies don't want to breed, and they mostly
don't, the sane people will slowly pull ahead.

So as a long-term investment, buy Exxon stock.

(I have a mild variant on the Sallen-Key lowpass filter. Is anyone
interested?)
