We recently moved from the “Evergreen” state, where political nuttiness abounds, to the “Gem” state where the application of common sense is seen in almost every venue.
Looking at the pyramid and thinking about my new environment I’d say the middle two segments are the least impacting while the endless, real-time stream of “what’s going on right now”, represented by the second from the top, is the #1 driver of public interest, thinking and discussion.
This is a reasonable depiction of what is main stream today.
