        I continue to believe that the single best predecessor to today along all dimensions (political, intellectual, madness of crowds, new tech, etc) remains the Reformation. So yes, you get the Counter-Reformation, Council of Trent, etc -- but that doesn't unscramble the omelette.

        People are making unnecessary news just to be in the news. Media is a product people buy with their attention
