There’s a difference between a cultist living thru the growth of the Internet and social media. It’s another when you have people completely cut off from the vast majority of the world and information for the last few decades.
My mom believes that Wikipedia is “influenced and censored.” She didn’t like Fargo when my uncle tricked her into watching it, so claimed that the Wikipedia article describing its awards (7 Oscar noms, 2 wins, etc.) were part of the demon-influenced liberal agenda.
“You now have access to the collective knowledge of the entire world.”
“Nah, let me see the boobies!”
this is pretty much the most common response to AI as well
“Boobies but show them to me”
A surprising amount of technological development is for pornography. Video-casettes won out because pornography used them over laserdisc or betamax.
I think you meant VHS won out. Betamax was also a video cassette format.
And yes, porn had a lot to do with why VHS won!
And secure online payments.
That’s where it starts. Then once they find Wikipedia, it’ll be a game changer.
it might be the pessimist in me, or it might be the reality we’re living in
but if sheer access to Wikipedia cured you out of being a cultist- i don’t think there’d be that many trump supporters

So no, Wikipedia doesn’t cure cultism.
*facts don’t cure…
As is tradition dating back to cave paintings.
