We are more advanced than Humanity has ever been and we've become incredibly stupid for it.

I agree and disagree with you both. It's the age of confusion and selective ignorance. People are no more stupid than they have ever been (i.e. on average, quite stupid) and they are also not being "kept" in the dark: more information is readily available than at any other time in history. But it's the deluge of available information combined with limited capacity to process that information that's causing the problems. Rejection of "experts", avoidance of the facts and figures, "don't hit me with more information pls just let me go with how I *feel*. This FEELS right to me, I FEEL angry, I FEEL scared and none of your pesky facts, expert opinions or reasonable logic will change that."

The Information Age is causing people to feel swamped by too much information and so there's a huge, instinctive societal lurch "back to safety". The safety of regressing to "simpler times". The safety in numbers of rampant tribalism and group-think. One "side" tearing at the throat of the other never realising that its all the same.

Does this happen daily, or only during "events"? It's basically the same as PMQs

[joeysteele]

I really think this PM suffers a mental block.
His rhetoric, his delivery, ranting like a madman.

He just seems unable to listen.
Shocking display from him.
