The feed is one of the most dangerous inventions of modern times and now we're making it even more addictive. I really hope we stop to think about this at some point and realise we need to break away from this consumption format.
- ericmcer 4y agoDo we do this with regulation? Or education? Trusting businesses to not do whatever they can to make money isn't a plausible strategy. People who can avoid social media will surpass their peers who are logging hours of mindless screen time. That will ultimately encourage even more inequality as people (especially kids) who aren't actively guided will easily fall into the social media trap and get left behind. Is the future just a bunch of narcissistic high achievers accumulating more and more wealth over a bunch of perfectly pacified low income workers?

That's past, present, and future, though the pacification is never quite perfect, because the separation between groups isn't. Achievers and pacified overlap in the same pool, which is why I think generally we should all piss in it less.
