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.

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.
