If you are despondent about this horrible timeline I have some good news: people have always been this monumentally stupid but they simply didn't have the power of access that they do now. The megaphones didn't exist for them.
Podcasts like Piers Morgan's and many others make money by drawing in eyeballs and fanning outrage and many people are more than happy to oblige. We yell at our screens or comment and nothing changes except maybe our blood pressure.
We survive in spite of our stupidity and we go through historical cycles where the weight of bad judgement results in a wave of change which begins another cycle of prosperity. We aren't strategically smart but instead end up correcting the excesses of our often horrific ideas.
The fundamental flaws are permanent because our fear, greed and stupidity are baked in.
