One of the best things about the early web was the fact that "minority perspectives" and "grassroots movements" pretty much had the freedom to express whatever they wanted, without any oversight. You could choose to read, or not to read.

Now, most of the web works like a modified LARP, where all participants are being "guided" by a trail of "clues" being laid out there by whomever the game masters are... on BOTH sides of every issue.

Thinking for yourself? Not so much...

Maybe simpler means more morons, but how will you reach and convert (some of) the morons to reason if you exclude them?
