Evidence has always been hard to trust, we should have had a zero-trust society for a lot longer. But because of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect and our trust in the unreasonable effectiveness of journalism, we find the USA fighting wars disheveling millions over weapons of mass destruction that never existed.
Nothing has really changed, it only became easier to automate what was already there before.
This violates all forms of acceptable reasoning.

But even if we would accept that kind of reasoning, your excuse is that it will cause the same problems, but faster?
I don't get your position. I really don't get it.
Thatcher and Reagan were a long way ahead there. They trusted institutions so little, particularly government, that they declared society doesn't exist. We've been trying to rebuild "society" since the 1980s.
Sadly the restoration our very human institutions, if it can be done at all, may only occur after all the painful lessons have been learned from thinking we can install crypto-cybernetic overlords as our servants.
