Is that why the Internet, potentially the greatest development in the history of mankind, is constantly used for conveying groundless insults and lying about events, policies, people, and everything else? You tell me, since you're the one who insists on using it that way.
First, though, answer the question -- are you going to concede that the way of modernism is morally superior to the way of slavers, witch-burners, and blood-sport audiences, or are you going to defend those concepts in order to uphold "tradition"?

Bees make hives for shelter and honey for food. Beavers make dams and lodges. The fact that our greater intelligence allows us to carry that further is a quantitative difference, not a qualitative one, and is very definitely not what makes us human. If you're going to denigrate the fundamental importance of rational thought, there is only one thing to say:
To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.
