I’m seeing one too many people blaming social media for this and social media for that because it’s just simply - social media. I think about this because I believe that you shouldn’t blame the tool because it is a tool, but blame the person who uses the tool for their intent.
Which means I’m on the side of the camp that actually knows lots of people abuse social media and has it demonized. It’s absolutely silly to just blame a concept or an idea for just being as is. So everyone else is going around blaming and blaming social media for their problems. Not too much the individuals that have contaminated it with their empty-brained existences.
And we all know that some of the more popular social media platforms are controlled by devoid-of-reality sychophants in Zuck, Spez, Musk that sways and stirs the volume of people on their platform with their equally as devoid ideas in how to manage.
Social Media, whether you like it or not, has a use. It’s a useful tool to engage with eachother as close as possible. Might be a bit saturated with many platforms to choose from.
But I just think social media being blamed for just being as is, is such a backwards way of thinking.
Well, that you think about it easily places you in a different group then the average joes. Most people don’t think about anything that’s not relevant to their survival.
We haven’t really evolved that much in the last few millennia where our civilization started, millennia is a really small scale for evolution.
And for people like that (the majority), social media are a bane, because they abuse what we know about human mind to be es engageable as possible, even if it’s not beneficial to the human.
Social media as a concept is not the problem, the execution is.
Most people simply don’t care about abstract issues like social media and similar.
Agreed. Many people have issues thinking in the abstract in general, even when they do speak on it they don’t understand what they’re saying, they’re just mimicking what reasoning sounds like, no different than predictive text typing, it’s why so many can hold completely contradictory views.
