i just can't wrap my head around the fact that otherwise normal intelligent people are so fucking addicted to fake validation from fake "friends" that they continue to consume (PAY FOR) bullshit like twitter
Maybe the reason is the left's lack of work ethic ('go fast' rather than 'do it right') and, in a Petersonian sense, to elevate alternative sexual archetypes in the marketplace ('fastest mario').
(am I trying too hard, I really want to bring this copypasta back. I wish lemmy had more copypasta shitposts)
humans are social creatures by nature but the issue is the way that people go about fulfilling those needs in the most useless, destructive way possible
As long as the socialibility of the human creates another human who uses the same tools to also make a human, etc., the system works and will require no changes.
As the sociologist Brooke Harrington puts it, if there was an E = mc2 of social science, it would be SD > PD, “social death is more frightening than physical death.”
i wasn't talking about people being socially codependent, i was talking about how people are addicted to bullshit social media to the point that they neglect actual social interaction with the people (i.e. friends and family) who are literally in physical proximity to them. all to amass fake "likes" for their feed
