Trump is a clown compared to Hitler -- but both built a cult like control of their masses.

I studied group psychology and behaviors in back in my days at San Jose State; there were contagions in all cult movements that almost replicated physical viruses.

Who knew in 1973 there would be a virtual neural-network online where people's (privately exposed) fears and blind bias could be hacked in realtime.

Like all technology, the web can be used for good or evil. We know the names here on SI.

Now we have AI arriving. WTF, what is truth when evidence and empirical experiences are controlled by the most powerful special interests through an expanding cult??

The question is, like in Superman comics, in the end, can Truth and Justice (capital T's) prevail? Will they?

Or are we non-asshole skeptical humble minds condemned to become extinct like the dinosaurs? Or will it end like Germany and Hitler in 1945, after all the casualties and destruction?
