I don't think that represents the mentality of society as a whole. Just the media, because their financial incentive is to lock in an audience by tailoring their message.
It is the society as a whole. Well, 90% to 95% of it. You and and your friends are probably educated people with critical thinking, but you're only a tiny part of "society".
You have to consider that: _ even educated people can be subject to echo chamber, with the result of being wrong in good faith; _ some educated people are being wilfully deceptive, because they have some personal interest in doing so; _ media are propaganda. Most people don't go out of their way to check sources. What the media as a whole is saying, is what the society is saying, and the feedback loop (through the audience / financial incentives) ensures that this works consistently. _ if you don't notice debate polarization in the population as a whole, it probably means that they just don't really care.
No, the cat is wrong. He claimed there will be zero, merely because they are being lost. That is mathematically incorrect.
No, you're wrong.
Your math is only correct if the considered quantity is a real number. However bitcoins are a fixed-point number (an integer number of satoshis). Therefore, at some point the last satoshi will be lost.

[T]he court ordered the now 28-year-old to pay $652,000 in damages for the unauthorized distribution of just one of the movies in the case. For the other 517 the man was handed a suspended jail sentence and ordered to complete 160 hours of community service.
The essential American leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The American follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.
[...] and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.
You should read the correspondence of the founding fathers.
Well, there's a lot of it:) Do you have (links to) specific documents that you think are explicit?
They spell out very explicitly that the right to bear arms applies to individuals,
Is the "individual" explicitly distinguished from a mobilisable citizen / reservist?
The "militia" includes all able bodied men between the ages of 18 and 40, not just members of an established militia.
Which basically is what the Swiss army is, right ? Civilians with a military training than can be gathered / mobilized quickly when in need. If feel that he "established" distinction is only meaningful in the context of a modern state / army (as an example London police was established in 1829, replacing a "disorganized system of parish constables and watchmen").
and that the purpose of that right is to curb an oppressive government.
My understanding is that the opposition is between states militias and federal standing army, not between civilians and either form of government. From Wikipedia, the amendment was basically written to please the anti-federalists.
a country that prides itself as the world's most free
Continuing to believe that is a sign you're delusional, not 'free'.
No, it's just a misunderstanding, in that they understand "freedom" as "the right to bear arms". Which, by the way, is itself a misunderstanding about an amendment whose goal was to ensure a militia roughly in the same sense as the Swiss army. The delusion would be about thinking that a gun gives you a good chance against an armoured tank.

We know how many there are (*).

(*) Obviously, the civilians only get a rough approximation, the exact number is classified.
