yup. most don't care about actual solutions. they just want to be seen as doing something about the problem. they want to figure out the status quo/consensus opinion, then adopt that as their opinion du jour.

we, as technologists, can't just educate them, explain the risks, explore potential solutions. we also have to spoon feed them the "spin", the message they can use to show that they "did something" and are "on the right side of the argument". without that spin, they'll never care.

when we can both give unbiased, real info and also help them spin it, we will get what we want more often.
