This reminds me of a time in human history, of early 21st Century Earth.  Without carefully considering the consequences of emerging technologies, humans of the time created a cult of digital narcissism and amateurism they referred to as The Web Two Point Zero.  The very notion of expertise was undermined by allowing any human, anywhere to share and place undue value upon their own opinions about any subject.  And they did, proliferating any kind of content, regardless of actual talent, knowledge, credentials, biases or possible hidden agendas. The people of that century were driven by one misguided core assumption about the use and development of the technology they created:  that all opinions and human-generated content are equally valuable and relevant.  Feeding into this, greedy profiteers, not unlike today's Ferengi, centralized the many networks into a few, dashing any hope of coming together to solve the problems that plagued our nascent society.  Dark times followed, filled with an endless data forest of mediocrity: uninformed political commentary, unseemly two dimensional holograms called "home videos", embarrassingly amateurish music, unreadable poems, essays and novels.  Even the pinnacle of archeological evidence we have uncovered from that time period, an egalitarian compendium of knowledge known as The Wikipedia, was full of mistakes, half-truths and misunderstandings.   It would not be until Zefram Cochrane discovered warp travel that my people were truly free to look to the stars and find better ways of relating.
