- hycaria 9y agoIs there a single way to prevent them (some of, at least) to fall into narcissistic social media, conspiracy theories and global intellectual demise anyways ? I don't think so. I am baffled at how much people prefer a good story over an honest one. Gotta have everything simple (good, and evil, and no middle ground) and spectacular. It is compulsive and natural, and only fighting constantly against it slightly reduces your urges, and gives a moderate yet constant gain in my experience. Considering this, there's no shame in not wanting to dedicate ressources to this. The thing I understand from all of this is that people don't think forward and that lazyness and immediate reward is an easier road. If someone's genuinely interested in leading an healthier, happier, different life, there are plenty of resources out there now, social plans are a thing in most places plagued by depression and lack of fulfillment. I have simply no advice for people who fall for it. I don't even know what these people goals in life are, if any (probably the latter). It doesn't matter what they do in the big scheme, it also doesn't prevent above poster or myself to live rather simple fullfilling lives. I just don't care if people fall for stupid things, why should I after all, and why is everyone so worried for them ? Not like we can share luck or proficiency or logical reasoning and stick to "weaker" minds at all time to help them decide or whatever.
- dqpb 9y agoYes, of course. Being resilient, technically adept, and intelligent are critical skills. Everyone should become more like that.
