If we were in the right timeline we would have fixed our dependance to fossil energy a long ass time ago.
Instead we've got a bunch of people who still believe vaccines causes autism because the internet told them that.
When did we fail going forward? As humanity, I mean.
Just don't believe this is anything new. Back in time, people used to seriously believe in faeries, trolls, deamons, angels and other supernatural phenomena.
That's how you could lead people to carry holy wars and consider serfdom and slavery as natural order of things.
Back in the 80's, I remember a report from an ethnologist going to Nepal and meeting people who seriously believed that Russians had goat feet.
If anything, the internet has revealed the credulity of the general population, and provides means to fight and contain superstitions of various kinds.
I'm an optimist.
