The game has changed. Pretty much anyone in the world can record events taking place, and make them available for everyone to witness, and go viral.
Good point. But that's not really reason, it's simply awareness. Awareness transcends reason....think about it: if you knew everything, logical deduction would be pointless. You'd simply already know the answer. It's like the memory vs processing tradeoff in computing. You don't need to use the processor if you can instead use tons of memory, for certain problems. In the same way, we don't need to use faulty human reasoning and logic as much once information transfer and the knowledge pool becomes vast enough.
