Seriously. An existential threat to society. Society requires several things to function. One of those things being a generalized consensus about what things have happened, what things are possible, and what should happen. Plugging your fingers in your ears and shouting nah nah nah isn't a reasonable reaction to the documented changes to society and geopolitcs over the last two decades, most of which can be in some way attributed to social media's warped influence. You correctly mention nuclear weapons being an existential threat yet you fail to acknowledge that deteriorating social and political norms make their use significantly more likely than at any point prior in the last 30 years. A lone individual was able to convince an armed and politically potent minority of the United States that lizard people are real and a threat to children worldwide. These people are now driving a race to the bottom that ends in control of the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet. What's tedious is individuals who have access to enough information to damn well know better playing the part of the frog in the pot of soon-to-be-boiling water.
