We are essentially living in the Age of the Huckster! Thousands of people, all over the internet, huckstering the gullible, the ignorant, and the greedy, for money and clout, and it’s having a “deleterious” effect on all of society. This is the age of the dimbulb, which is especially galling for those of us who make our living wrangling actual knowledge, (I’m a librarian), and I really hope America can survive this.
