Conspiracy theories get whipped up a billion times faster than they used to. I remember a time when someone could say something like, “the Walrus was Paul” and it would take weeks to go viral. A twenty-four hour news cycle was the standard, now it's a Twitter feed. These days Paul becomes the Walrus in less than an hour. And of course, Neil is hastily obliged to retire from being in charge of interpreting J.J.R. Tolkien.
