But the problem is a real one, not a mere intellectual game. Because today we live in a society in which #spuriousealities are manufactured by the #media, by #governments, by big #corporations, by #religiousgroups, #politicalroups — and the #electronichardware exists by which to deliver these pseudo-worlds right into the heads of the reader, the viewer, the listener. #PhilipKDick, 1978

There are going to be bad apples in any bunch. We cannot single out #environmentalists any more than #religiousGroups that believe when people die, that's Gods way. Or #capitalists who believe that the 99% don't work hard enough. Or #slavetrade operators, #rentSeekers and rabid #shareholders who want to suck all the #productiveValue from the masses while paying them a pittance and #evadingTaxes that might help pay for #publicGoods like #healthcare.
The bad exist...(2/4)
