Oh yes, the proverbial wise young people who understand the world better. Not being able to be genuine on social media when they spend a large proportion of time "socializing" there clearly can't do any harm. In no way can this bring about a distorted view of reality and of what people actually think. No, not a chance, young people are savvy about these things.
- helen___keller 4y agoEvery source of media is a distorted view of reality. This has been true since the printing press was invented to today. There is no crystal ball. I’m saying that young people can navigate the environment they were raised in effectively. You mention “understand[ing] the world better” yet I made no comment about young people being wise and understanding the world. My only claim is that young people are capable of navigating between public and private personas such that they can satisfy their intellectual curiosity. We are not, as the author claimed, intellectually stifled by fear of asking the wrong question. Feel free to state why you think this is not true, rather than just offering a mocking tone.
