Social media really is destroying any kind of reason, focus and persistence. Sucking up the energy of all, like a brand new Dyson on high speed.
It’s making people loose any sense of control. Imagine Harriett reading on her phone like “bet” and then proceeding through the woods with LEDs flashing on her and a trumpet in her hand. That’s what social media is doing, switching people from being relentless and quiet to loud and scattered.
In crisis we’re supposed to move like lasagna, not like a circus.
Social media in the first place is one of the main reason for Roe vs. Wade to be overturned; petty games online for years, ending up with a party punishing the other more than believing in the decision.
Social media is cancer. The bad one.
