I blame the internet, because I like to and because it’s true. I mean that I blame the way it encourages people to choose their own information and curate their own reality, so that no official pronouncement competes with a pet theory. I blame a national epidemic of selfishness, too. It seems to me that fewer and fewer people are easily moved off their particular worries, their special wants. Any outcome that displeases them is ipso facto a bastardized one.

Yep. The internet is vast but most users isolate themselves in surprisingly narrow parts of it. Instead of expanding our views, we use it to constrict our perspectives. Â
