Was it too soon to network humanity or will it eventually achieve John Stuart Mill's optimism that the public square will be educated by dialogue, whatever that means for you? #MastoPoll

@z3r0fox I would like to consider also the possibility that it was "too late".
Humanity might have been better equipped to handle drastically increased networking if it had started a couple of decades earlier.
My impression is that around the 60s and 70s there was a stronger sense of "we can build a better society together", then during 80s and 90s that changed to something more like "we are just individual consumers, we only want cheap products and don't care about building a good society".
