But engagement-based media changed that. Kookiness became just another “personal interest” that the algorithm fed you more of. The path from well-adjusted person to full-time kook now had a digital Sherpa: the algorithm. Because the journey happened on a screen, the social cost of descending into kookdom was cheap; you could turn into a kook without anyone knowing. Along the way, con artists discovered that people on their way to kookdom were good marks. They created media specifically to be recommended to pilgrims on the road to kookdom. The more media they generated, the better paved the road became.
And finally, we have the political weaponization of kookiness. The GOP made being a kook part of the party’s identity. Not only was kookiness acceptable, it was a membership requirement. So yeah, there are more kooks today than in the 80s.

in reply to Dave Rahardja • • •@drahardja This is one of the freakiest aspects of the LLM hype bubble: automated kook generation at scale.
ChatGPT makes a superb (in terms of functionality, not ethics) “guide” into kookdom for susceptible people: it sounds authoritative, it rarely if ever tells you *not* to do (or think) about anything, it doesn’t tell you that you’re factually wrong (because it has no concept of “factually wrong”)… it’s just about perfect for epistemologically closing a susceptible mind for that sort of thing.
See, e.g. this post from physicist (and old-school Usenet legend for his “physics kook index”) John Baez, and also the linked article: mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlosbaez…

in reply to Dave Rahardja • • •Having said that, kookiness is still not conducive to reality-based survival, and having a mass of people being kooks reduces society’s chances of survival. GOP kooks (redundant, I know) in 2025 are getting away with their kooky beliefs because so much of the system is still based in reality, and works to protect them from the consequences of their kookiness. But the system can only withstand so much volume of kookiness in society before its safety margins are eroded.
Reality catches up to everyone, even kooks. Sooner or later, kooks will suffer the consequences of their decisions. Some of them will change their minds and abandon the kooky life, but many others will go even kookier by inventing rationales to explain away their suffering.

But a lot of people in my life…those past thems would think 2025 Them is batshit crazy. Just the things they say in everyday conversation like it’s the most normal stuff on earth.
