Good company

My basic heuristic for dealing with The Current Thing is that: - the crowd's opinion of it is always manufactured and/or largely incorrect - it is never entirely true - its nuances coax you into an intellectual trap rather than deeper understanding. The answer to this dilemma, for me, it to simply not think about The Current Thing and reject anyone's opinion about it, especially if that leads to my having no logically consistent opinion about it myself. That is a sign that there is no logically consistent opinion to be had at all.
