I get an overwhelming sense that Internet mediated connectivity between people has produced a societal phenomenon that is an analogue of psychosis within a single brain. It's like there is just not enough dampening to prevent wild feedback loops. I imagine that a normally functioning brain has some way of dealing with the problem and maybe society will eventually evolve something. In the mean time, there's nothing to do but keep your head down. It's terrifying to me that being polite and nodding and being tolerant of others is not enough to keep one out of trouble though.
