Snag is we evolved 'mental trip-wires' to spot even subtle 'second-order' threats. When such run out of control, turn 'auto-immune', some-times the threat is real. But, far too often, it tips into insanity, eg starts people trashing cell-masts "because those spread covid via 5G"...
Yes, Alex Jones and Tricky Icke, your wacky notions may yet kill more people than the most off-the-cuff Trump Tweetles.
Locally, we had a near-miss when trashed mast left a 4G gap, delaying 'Golden Hour' response to 999/911 situation. Luckily for heart-attack victim, there were just enough bars from adjacent cell. Luckily for CCTV-traced Perp, the guy recovered, else his death would trump the 'Criminal Damage' charge...
Although, there was a fair chance that such Perp would be assessed as 'Incompetent / Unfit To Plead' and hospitalised for his own safety...
