      If only there were some world-wide interconnected network of computers full of more information than you could possibly imagine, all of it searchable instantly where you could find out who Matthew Perry was.

      Alas…

        I remember the world pre-pocket (or home) internet. We thought access to information was the core issue of people being ignorant/misinformed/stupid, surely instant access to world libraries with all the cumulated human knowledge would alleviate that.

        We were wrong.

              Very simple- my point was to castigate you for telling us you didn’t know who someone was as if you couldn’t have just found out with minimal effeort.

              Your turn: Why did you think we needed to know that you don’t know who Matthew Perry is?

      Disregarding all the other stuff, the reports say he was being treated with ketamine for anxiety and depression. He had decades of mental health struggles.

      No matter who the person is, he was still a person.
