From TFA:

    Mythmaking, more than truth seeking, is what seems likely to define the future of media and of the public square. The reason extraordinarily strange conspiracy theories have spread so widely in recent years may have less to do with the nature of credulity than with the nature of faith. 
The reason why strange and even outright deranged notions have spread so widely is that they have been monetised. It is a Gibberish Economy.


Capitalism found the least amount of energy to produce a viable product.


"Minimally viable utterance."
