Even though I am in favour of Musk's purchase of Twitter, the implied idea that the slot machines in our pockets need broader engagement to improve discourse and society, and that engaging in more direct conflict in less-moderated forums will improve the mental health of young people - both seem like very big bets. I'd still be willing to take those bets because there is a good chance the reason they're going nuts is the platforms manage and toy with their attention and instincts like animals, so they're probably acting a lot like they are beings in captivity. Something that breaks the spell might mitigate the effects. Maybe they're not that crazy, they're just indexed on something others can't see?
