Or, the death of "opinion" as a thing that exists
Always enjoyed that episode of Babylon 5. “Good luck, Captain. I have a feeling you are about to go where every man has gone before.”
Well there's a memory. But yeah, EVEN SEXUAL APPEALS to suck you into the state system and leave you compromised (which I'm sure also happens quite a bit, actually).
Perhaps the more fitting line for our times was about how all of Earth’s longstanding problems were solved when the government rewrote the dictionary.
I suppose the elevation of "expertise" has something to do with the elevation of data as the sole legitimate arbiter of arguments.
