I've deactivated my Facebook account too, but it wasn't weakness that kept me there. Just like with anything, moderation is the key. If you can't do that then the best thing to do is delete. But I wouldn't call >1 billion people on Facebook 'weak.'
- invalidOrTaken 13y agoI would. Naked apes strive for status: facebook is (sort of) a super-version of that striving. If I were an alien tasked with invading earth, I'd figure out a way to convince humans that surrendering would get them laid. Since there are so many humans, their ancestors must have wanted to reproduce; therefore, they probably do too. It targets their weakness, ergo, they're weak. There's no shame in it.
- jamesaguilar 13y agoIt seems like your definition of weak would include most high status people. That feels like not a great or useful definition.
- Ygg2 13y agoSeeing how there is a huge number of drug users amongst the richest, I am unsure if grandparent was on to something or not.
- rosser 13y agoI didn't realize there were brushes broad enough to paint a billion and change people with.
- Turing_Machine 13y agoSo you're redefining "engaging in behavior likely to lead to reproduction" as "weakness"? Darwin would be intrigued by that idea, I'm sure.
- Ygg2 13y agoDarwin would probably say it depends on context. There is a species of fish that has females running alongside sharks, their natural predators, in attempt to prevent being impregnated by the males. Think about it. A species that tries actively to prevent and postpone copulation.
- eruditely 13y agoThe only thing that's weak is your ability to see actual functional reasons for having a facebook. It's a great baseline medium to organize events and to keep everyone updated.
