Don’t let all the high tech fool you, we are living in an era of unprecedented irrationality.
Think about it. Back in the Dark Ages they believed garbage that could not be proved but also could not be disproved, crap like witches, werewolves, demons and such. You can’t prove that your sheep got sick and died because your neighbour is a witch who has put a curse on them, but you can’t disprove it either. Maybe the sheep got sick because of bad luck, maybe they got sick because of a curse — there’s no way of proving one way or the other. These days, though, millions of people believe things that can be disproved. Take for example what i see as the spearhead of this descent into madness — the whole trans thing. You can’t prove that Ellen Page isn’t a witch, but you can prove that she isn’t a man — you just break into her gynecologist’s office and steal her records! And yet millions of people now believe she’s actually a man called Elliot Page! This is a level of irrationality that would have had even the low-IQued peasants of the Dark Ages going “dude, you need help!” Yet here we are, stuck in a clown world where even otherwise smart people buy the idea that woman = man, man = woman, and pretty soon that up = down.
This is where we are now, and since irrationality largely serves those who rule us, i don’t see this doing anything except getting worse.
