The possibility to be pessimistic is endless. Decade after decade, it seems that much of the public gets stupider and easier to corrupt the opinions of. At the same time, there are an amazing number of well-informed, well-intentioned people. If there are to be any solutions, it seems to me that they will consist of something like what Danny says: “the media” (don’t forget, that’s a plural noun) interacting with their (I almost said “its”) audience.

Sitting just three seats from Danny here in Doha, I can confirm that the conference is underway and is as Danny reports. Keep up the good work, Danny!
