> "I acted like an idiot because an Internet Website made me feel things and I couldn't control myself. Now I need Someone Else to make decisions on my behalf". I don't think this is crazy. We're products of our environment. Our environment now includes TikTok and Facebook. This isn't a question of "is this how it should be", rather a statement of how it is. If you're a man, ask yourself "why don't I wear a dress?". I assume it isn't because you weighed the pros and cons, but rather because of the environment you're born into and inhabit. Personal responsibility for an individual is great. But if we're designing optimal societies, we should pay attention to how incentives are being used to manipulate us. If your claim boils down to "I am strong enough to control myself" it reminds me of "ads don't work on me". _I just don't buy it_. If that were true you wouldn't eat Oreos, or use Bounty paper towels, or own a Song or Samsung tv. The truth is that we are all heavily influenced by our peers, our environment and now, social media.
