      I want to agree with you, but it seems remarkably self-serving of me. "Obama isn't smart enough, but *I* am" 1/

      But I can't honestly look at the current state of discourse and think "Yep, the average person can handle a free internet." 2/

      Or at least, not w/ current institutions. I used to have this vague idea that random stupidity would neatly cancel itself out 3/

      It seems like the only way forward is to start building alternative, more robust institutions. But we're not *ready*. 7/

      I question the long-term sustainability of democracy-based political systems but don't see anything ready to fill the gap. 8/8

      I never had to recalibrate to filtering, I grew up here, this is how I process reality. I had believed that this was *sufficient*
