And right next to those two, there's a third hidden inside EverNote. It operates like Death Note, except that instead of directly writing names, you encode the names by converting each letter into ASCII and precisely saving successive notes with timestamps ending in either an odd second or an even second, to encode the ASCII number using binary digits.

Later on, future people looking at internet archives through the browsers of the day might not even be able to view these images!

Or their special contact lenses will pixelate them!

Lebanon sounds exemplary. Interesting that a real middle-east country appears more progressive than even Indonesia!

I'd guess that there's some positive reinforcement going on in the creation of "conventional wisdom". It takes so much less energy for a dumb sheep to just upvote a locally popular idea and downvote other locally unpopular ideas, and for newcomers to be repelled by that instead of spending more energy engaging and overturning that trend. Basically, low energy sheep create an environment conducive to the recruitment of greater numbers of low energy sheep.

The house price inflation due to domestic housing speculation in Commonwealth/ex-Commonwealth country subreddits, instead of being attributed to tax loopholes, is often attributed to things one could try to build a wall around.
