A very technical approach to the question - much appreciated though.
My view is that we must question everything - every assumption, those established facts and their conclusions, the status-quo. Many long accepted facts are not only based on inadequate assumptions, they are also deliberately used to mislead those who are exposed to it.
A complex subject that calls for a simple yet difficult solution:
Question Everything!
This requires COURAGE but earns respect - and...
...it liberates us from the traps of manipulation and ignorance.
Perhaps also if interest is the first article in the new series on the dangers of TV, which can be found here.

Thats the short version. What I find disappointing in many people who have this discussion that it is still a lot of lazy thinking in terms of why you need to question everything: there are always "complots" or "they", "them" who manipulate everything and the global elite and such nonsense. This is not helpful.
The human world society is evolving constantly and the pace of that evolution is radically speeding up. Even if "they" wanted to, there is no person who can stop, manipulate or steer these changes.
It is much like trying to learn to surf big waves: you can't predict them, standing to try to resist these big waves doesn't end well but if you are prepared and willing to paddle your ass off, you can have a lot of fun riding those waves...
Hmmm - I disagree.
There are conspiracies, and they are real. There is a wannabe neo-feudalistic
elitewhich suppresses knowledge. Their goal: The enslavement of humanity. Their ideology: Technocracy. It's a subject that warrants an article or a series of articles to explore and appreciate.It's not left vs right - the Powers That Should No Be are masters of their credo:
The good news? Blockchain technology, such as Steemit. An uncensorable platform that retains information as it was recorded without being able to be manipulated again...
PS:// Put Technocracy article on the list of blog ideas...
