|content=Maybe the wealthy are just super smart &amp; have an escape plan. If so, I haven't heard it. Call it a hunch, but watching the collapse in institutional trust, I don't think this is going to end well for anyone, including the ultra wealthy. It's one planet connected by an atmosphere.

|content=I know of no well resourced individual interested in leading an attempt to save our institutions from current leadership. No one I know is studying why seemingly disjoint institutions (e.g. @splcenter, @ACLU, @nytimes, @UCBerkeley, @MSNBC, @NIH, @sciam, etc.) would act as one.

|content=In short, anyone who could credibly even attempt to save these structures (or even allow us to understand their rapid collective demise by studying the slide without needing to seek funding or approval) is acting as if this isn't interesting or a priority...or they approve of it.

Different question. Look at the spread. 

Tell me how we got 7.5%? Do you have any idea what 7.5% means?

Now listen to who repeats this number. 

If they said 7.57348977% ± 0.0000003% you would be laughing. 

We should be laughing, not nodding.

We have a world where institutions BLATANTLY lie in the vague direction of the truth to make the truth…uh…punchier. More viral.

Some people, upon detecting the lies (e.g. “Climate modeling is settled science”), decide there’s no truth in it *at all*.

They aren’t making the choice you are being led to believe they are. Ask instead “Why did you CHOOSE @Fox over @NPR?” 

And then you’ll learn why.
