Put #socialdilemma on your must-watch list. Most sane folks already know much of what is going on with SM, but that movie is a neat summary of everything that has gone wrong with SM. Technology has evolved faster than human consciousness and it has made beasts of billions.
Psychologically,the phenomenon is a no-brainer for anyone who understands the basic mechanism of learning & conditioning. How reward mechanisms arnd vanity & the need to say something,anything, work. How othering works. How habituation & the need for larger dose 4 next high works
"For the first 50 years, Silicon Valley used to make products that consumers could use. Now the biggest companies there sell their users."

"If you are not paying for the product, then YOU are the product".

For me, it is Twitter mainly. I don't have FB/Insta/Snap/Reddit/Pin/Red. WA is under control.Occasional foray into LinkedIn about twice a month.

Gotta cut twitter time too. It hit me that i am being hypocritical - perhaps less than many, yet still pretty active on twitter.
"Your attention is the product being sold to advertisers".

Attention,i believe, is a form of respect,even love. Are we squandering it away on meaningless pursuits? How profoundly lonely r ppl addicted to excessive screen time?

Tying this up w/ the tales I hear from clients too.
I just gotta read this one.
If someone has already, please share what you found to be highlights from this book.

This fits in here. Because at the heart of what lies in the tweets above is Manipulation of the Mind.

"Human beings evolved to gossip, preen, manipulate, and ostracize. We are easily lured into this new gladiatorial circus....Citizens are now more connected to one another, on platforms that have been designed to make outrage contagious."
Good read.

Must be busy covering up the tracks on that Real Estate & Eviction scam they have had running for years. Where do YOU think they are Shiva?
Hehehe! Shiva deleted the tweet! 🤣
For the record, in his deleted tweet he had asked where Jared and Ivanka were!
Dummy! We know where they are and what they must be busy doing now 😈

If there was twitter during the times of Hitler,Mussolini, Franco,Stalin, Mao & that entire evil lot, there would be moral imbeciles who would be using the Free Speech argmt against de-platforming.

Ontological and epistemological decay leads to confusion in feeble minds.
A thing is what the thing is, and not what it is not.

Trump is pure EVIL, a dysfunctional criminal - forget using the free speech argmnt against him being de-platformed, I opine that he should be thrown in a correctional institution.

Free Speech is not even an issue here.
I see Libertarian handles coming in support of the Free Speech argmnt wrt objection to Trump being booted out of twitter. Just goes to show how those who follow an ideology,ANY IDEOLOGY blindly,risk neuronal decay [plaques & tau tangles mainly] & dysfunctional pathways in the PFC

This man was President!!

How on earth did a malignant narcissist of unsound mind and the emotional/cognitive/behavioral regulation skills of a rock in a gutter ever become President of US?

America,u have some serious thinking to do about eligibility norms for political office.
When you give a pass to someone with a severe Personality Disorder, especially Cluster B, by calling it harmless/unique quirks/traits, do so at your own peril. Pathologically dysfunctional personalities damage families and societies, [yet can be calibrated by professionals].
The general non-acceptance of severe personality dysfunctionality as a mental health condition is one of the biggest example of scientific pussyfooting. The resistance to this mainly came from the left [yes the same "don't judge, no right or wrong, no good no bad" crowd].

All the more reason to buy the book. Truth often invites scorn from those whose truth is being revealed. Old tactic. So while they busy themselves with distorting the ratings, hit them where it hurts most - buy the book and see what it says 😈😇
Hahaha!

He has the link on his twitter bio! 😈
@milindshah2006 refer tweet exchange a while ago - got one for you.
btw, #LinkedIn which turned into a platform for pompous self-glorification already, has also been infested by this rabid lot past year or so.
Best part is that this true blue sanghi, with songs of civilizational greatness on his lips is employed in an outfit that caters to the needs of those seeking to immigrate out of Bharat [cunedaa!]😈

If you would like a quick FFI/BFI [OCEAN] profile for yourself, go to measureyourpersonality.com/q/welcome.php
and use access code 57562353. Be honest in your responses. Psychometric tool developed at King's College London [Neurobiology of Personality].
DM me for clarifications/interpretation.
Your personal details will not be required - just basic demographic on gender and age. Report pdf can be downloaded after completing the test. Time needed: 5 mins.
Basic factors used are the 5 from the FFI. Statistically Valid tool, tried and tested, strong construct validity.
Don't over analyse the report. Take what's useful for u fm in there. There r strong correlations of some of the factors from the 5 to propensity for affective disorders - but those are indicative AND NOT CLINICAL. So restrict the interpretation to propensities [not diagnostics]

"Independent voices that could challenge the official narrative are being muffled; institutions that could force the executive branch to right its wrongs have been defanged"

Brilliant Essay. Bookmark it for weekend reading. Covers all aspects seamlessly.

"For many of my generation, our long-cherished hope for a better, greater India is all but gone. We wanted to trade some of our democratic chaos for a little bit more growth. We ended up with less of both."
"....Modi has managed to shift the Overton window, supplanting material prosperity — which no party has delivered since the ’90s — with chest-thumping nationalism and an atavistic yearning for a pre-Islamic past."
