Dilute this down, the internet and social are merely tools. Humans are using them for nefarious reasons. Humans have been dicks from the beginning of time.

Dilute this down, the internet and social are merely tools.
Humans are using them for nefarious reasons.
Humans have been dicks from the beginning of time.
- pixl97 7y agoHumans have been dicks, but few ever have reach in their communications. Now the entire world is inner connected. This is kind of like saying people have always had rocks to throw, so nuclear weapons aren't anything new.
- dane-pgp 7y agoHighlighting the difference between rocks and nuclear weapons makes a good analogy, but my favourite example is from the "harmless supernova fallacy": https://arbital.com/p/harmless_supernova/ https://arbital.com/p/harmless_supernova/ in particular the "Precedented, therefore harmless" variant.
