What’s amazing is that the most lauded and celebrated “geniuses” of the new era understood the most base, destructive, and divisive desires of people versus what was needed to create a better and fairer society.
Not that, you know, it’s indicative of what’s wrong with America or anything, but it’s totally indicative of what’s wrong with America and why we’re in this current societal crisis.
Nobody at Facebook or Twitter or anything understands what they unleashed. Their platforms are lucrative because they stimulate the worst parts of us. They look at what they’ve wrought like Victor Von Frankenstein. It isn’t about betterment. It never, ever was.
It’s all moved toward misinformation and propaganda because misinformation and propaganda are profitable. Not that they’re good or productive. Their result is completely irrelevant. It’s hollow, empty of anything approaching decent or human. The entire system has been twisted.
