Here is the locus classicus for the conceptual framework I have in mind applying to the contemporary devolution in so-called “social media”.

C.S. Peirce, “The Fixation of Belief”, Popular Science Monthly 12 (November 1877), 1–15.There is a parallel discussion thread here.

Problem. We need to find a way of understanding the regressive trend of crowd-sourcing that reverses the normal advance of inquiry and ultimately leads to the lowest common denominator of the most popular misconceptions in every area where it holds sway.
