Imagine a world where news could *only* flow via private 1:1 gossip links. No common knowledge, no public record for groups >2. You could never be sure that if you heard X, that another person also knew X unless you told them or they told you. I think we’re headed that way.
Replying to @dmcdougall
Not quite. Villages were coherent communities with common knowledge broadcast bubbles (churches and town criers in Europe). Now little of significance, relatively speaking, happens at village-CK level.
