When you know nothing at all, everything is a conspiracy. The less you know, the more you can imagine. And the more you need to.
From the emergence of chattering hominids from the great jungle trees to the first captured fires from some dry thunderstorm sweeping the savannah, conspiracies have multiplied exponentially, proving beyond dispute that the more we think we know, the wronger we get.
As a sort of Q.E.D. for the most self-assured intellectuals among us here on JFC, I cite the recently emerging ambitions of Google to placate the Chinese "Mao-idolizing" Xi with convenient public discussion management enforceable with arrests and re-education camps, the prideful declarations of Facebook to improve public discourse, and Putin's obedient Press.... all of which find encouragement in our supposedly enlightened media, from Barney and Big Bird though NPR all the way to CNN and Breitbart. Common Core principles even John Dewey could emulate.
And which, of course, every JFC mod should study.
All hail the impending destruction of the living statue of iconoclasm, Donald John.
