Yes.

and no.

We are more aware of our failings and felines faster.

It's like religion, politics and racism - so long as the common herd can be distracted by these stupid things we think we know something about; we are not focussed on the rich getting richer at our expense. They only care that we care about this rubbish.

Which reminds me... apparently Deutsche Bank are set to blow the world's economy into smithereens. Something bout being sued by the US got for 14 billion USD (they have less than half that available in litigation fees and a 42 trillion euro market exposure. The hugest and most sensitive market exposure by a single entity ever (I think). Well apparently 20 times worse than Lehman Bros. Apparently too late for significant shorts but someone with a whole lotta cash might consider being the only one left with a wheel barrow full of cash no-one wants or needs after the oncoming financial meltdown

Didn't know that before the www.

Anyway the internet exists so computers can talk to one another once we have given ourselves a nuclear holocaust.  Ever since '69. Twenty to 25 years later we got the tabloid equivalent - linked web pages. Oh, but we have prog archives and that is a carefully nurtured resource of value and culture. Quite rare on the web.

We'd still have human evil but now we know about it sooner.
