A handful of technocrats, convinced of their intellectual superiority, occupy key positions of power. They champion a supposed critical thinking — ‘think for yourself’ or ‘find your own truth’ — which they want us to pursue by surfing their social media platforms, where propaganda and disinformation thrive
I don’t agree. I think these people are acting out of what they believe to be self interest, even if it is an unenlightened self interest. Why else would they desire to be at the “top of the collective?” What do they hope to gain if not special, INDIVIDUAL, privileges, opportunities, liberties, etc?
