Hey, you can ignore the steps I’m working through below to articulate my conjecture.
Suffice to say it focuses on whether modern variables make certain assumptions anachronisms, leading to a failure of the edifice.

It looks like one variable was a plurality of thought.
I feel, but don’t have the exact dots to link together, that this is a placeholder for quality of thought.
Quality here being a function of the time taken to apply logic and reason on a set of facts up their logical conclusion.
Since the advent of cable and TV, the velocity has increased.
However so has the reason numbing quality of the information diet.
This is to a degree motivated reasoning from my end, since I am thinking about how individual reason is now secondary to the information being fed into the larger polity.
