We are already living in a dystopian future with respect to corporate news controlling narratives and people’s minds. People like to muse about this-and-that technology or situation being a risk-factor for a future dystopian scenario, but most people fail to realize that we’re already there:

- Our ability to relate to those who disagree with us is shattered
- Advertising models have poisoned what would otherwise be public squares
- Journalism outlets use opinion/ideology to pander and secure subscriptions
- Media “Fact Checking” Isn’t Science
- the-state-must-control-public-opinion-through-media-and-university
- Published Talking Points are Playbooks Available for Enemy Consumption
