Dude, I can't keep up with the long replies so I will go short.

thanks :) whatever length floats your boat :)

Yup, monopoly on info. And guess what, they are EXCLUDING (think, censoring) contrary viewpoints. You are literally STEEL-MANNING my case. It's not even 8 replies between us in this specific reply chain, yet your ideas are already being torn in the Marketplace.

I'm steel-manning your position about better ideas getting on top by pointing out people are easily deceived by propaganda and disinfo which are used to promote bad ideas? Does that make sense to you?

The alternatives & good ideas are not being presented to them. Effectively, alternatives are censored, regardless of IQ. That's how you are steel manning. Just because an idea is good does not magically mean it will become famous, known about by the masses. In freedom, the idea has a chance. In censorship, permanent (as long as its being censored) obscurity!

it was "free"

Free =/= invincible to all outside influence.
