The wise are easily defeated by the howling of the idiot masses. No amount of wisdom or logic can overcome absolute fanatical ignorance. We live in a time of bread and circuses.
That is entirely dependent on the wise standing united. We're back to witch hunts. Say the wrong thing and a bunch of people will force you to repent to them or destroy your life. Look at Tim Hunt. He won a Nobel prize for great contributions to science but is generally remembered for making "sexiest" statements which forced him to resign. While his statements seemed more like something a nervous and perhaps socially inept scientist would say, the idiot masses demanded blood. Where was the unity of the silent majority for him?

I believe that to not be true, we have the majority, the silent majority, and to win that must change.
