I am struggling to believe that this was asked in good faith.
- joshuamerrill 10mo agoWell, it’s a good example of social media’s negative externalities.
- ipaddr 10mo agoIf we just take this idea in good faith one could make the point that social media and books are more similiar than they appear. They both end up in escapism. They both can teach or entertain. They both are mostly anti-social. The difference in form increases effectiveness but in the end they are a tool that is designed to escape reality.
