    Consensus sounds difficult when you have absolute morons who believe that farming isn’t real or boiling water erases it’s memory.

      The atomization of decision-making allows entrenched interests to disrupt progress. If you’ve ever been to a city planning meeting, you can see how NIMBY homeowners block transit upgrades or affordable housing. Sometimes consensus is impossible

        There are some people with completely absurd beliefs out there. “Water memory” is a pretty mainstream pseudo-science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_memory

        “Farming isn’t real” is something I saw someone joke posting about but I wouldn’t be surprised if people took it on seriously.
