yeah I guess there is a war against disinformation. On one side you have oil giants that are spreading disinformation how oil is the best thing ever to befall on humanity and should never ever be substituted because all other things are deadly and bad for everything and everyone.
On the other side technology is going forward either crawling or flying, but it's going. If anything else fails there is always ITER situated in rural part of France and one day, may it be in decades, that will eventualy change the world.
This reminds me back when I was a lad in 1865 when train and carriage industries were spreading false information about upcoming new thing called the car saying that it will destroy the roads, scare the horses and injure people. They went so far that they managed to lobby for a law called Red Flag Act in which every car had to be accompanied by a crew of three including a person with a red flag walking at least 60 yd to warn people for incoming car, which was only to drive up to 4 mph and 2 mph in towns. Needles to say that was brainwashing people that didn't stick for long, but also Oil Companies now are the most powerful industries yet so it's going to take longer if not impossible to beat.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
