- yucky 4y agoSocial media is not the real world though, it's heavily curated (which by itself is a problem) and then algorithmically designed to induce strong feelings like hate, fear, resentment etc. because that is what increases engagement. That's not healthy, and it's a huge reason so many young people are so miserable all the time. They have no other frame of reference in the actual real world.
- philosopher1234 4y agoI agree that having no real world experience is bad, and social media can be dangerous
- raydiatian 4y ago> Unless you want to live in fantasy land and never find out what the real world is like I enjoy picturing the fantasy land where a functioning adult genuinely holds the perspective you’re advocating for here. Dystopian Sci Fi is sort of my thing
- philosopher1234 4y agoI am a functional adult who believes this genuinely. Probably more functional than you, since we’re comparing :)
- raydiatian 4y agoThat’s your microcosm sweetheart, compare away. For somebody named “Philosopher” you still seem like you could do well reading The Fountainhead or Meditations. But then again your profile says “stirring the pot” so it’s hard to take anything you say in earnest (:
