It is about the origin pathological ideas and how the internet might make them more prevalent.
- blablabla123 9y agoReally interesting topic, I read the intro and the end. But the last paragraph seems to underline it: most of the people haven't seen a Psychologist or talked to anyone. I'm quite convinced that online communication is really Lo-Fi. Though I'm still wondering whether it does more harm than it does good. I can only speak for myself, over the last 10 years I decreased my online life a lot and I recommend others to do the same. (Apart from work, but I mean that's just coding stuff and mostly researching. ;)) Ironically there's a global trend in the last 10 years making "online" cool and most people spend many hours socializing online.
