P.S. She is happy for me and in some ways realized her doing. If you can't comprehend their thought process yet, give it time, you don't understand what it is like to mess up your own child's life and cope with that, most importantly, neither do they, you both have to come to terms with it. Don't be too hard on your lost parents. And for those people with the parents that simply refuse to ever acknowledge their actions, from me to you I'm sorry you have to go through that, give them time.

Sam this video is right on point. I had someone to leave me because I'm not into the digital world. I glad this person did because there were no verbal communication only texting. you can't be in a relationship through texting. smh. Social platform is intended to destroy the normal brain cells. and that's why I personally believe we have a high rate of the mental illness, everyone wants to be seen. sad. I didn't know it was so important for another human being opinions matters. People needs to self reflect. because society right about now is very contagious with this demonic evil being out there.

Sorry your relationship ended, but to be honest I think it was for the best. I pray that you will be able to meet likeminded people in real life. It is the younger generation that is mostly affected since they really can not imagine their world without it despite so many studies showing how much it is ruining their mental health. It has also affected my relationship with some family members since I do not on social media and I can tell how much their choices are determined by what is popular on sm specially tiktok.

I grew up in the 90s and have spent stupid amounts of time online. But I’m bored now, no longer have social media accounts except youtube which I largely use for music and educational videos. How sustainable is this? It all looks the same to my brain now which has become bored of it. Quitting was pretty easy. Is there an amount of time before the average person becomes disengaged with social media? The same goes for TV which I barely watch anymore.

And about this tendency against intellectuality, I feel exactly that around me; it´s enough to say that the present president in Brazil (my country) is someone who had 4 years of schooling in life. And THAT is something that attracts his voters more! "How beautiful to be a president having only 4 years of schooling in life! Going to school sucks! This president shows every one that it´s useless, as I thought".

I am really glad that Sam contested the label of “revolutionary” and suggested that “reactionary” is the much more fitting label for the sort of path that social media and tech are leading us down. It would be revolutionary for humans to reject social media and embrace a path toward more real connection, intimacy…REALITY. I would be quite a loss if the word “revolutionary” got stained by using it to describe the horrific impacts of social media.i

This is a conversation people yearn for today. I just wanted to add 20 years is a generation. But not a lifetime. The thing with humans though is, WE FEAR DEATH 😅 They use any kind of fear, irrational or not. The algorithm is specific to you. I seen it with my own eyes. Take a look at somebody elses search history..and youll get an idea of whats going through their mind. But, we have people who make accounts specifically for being an asshole nowadays! They call it "spam accounts" . I find it very dystopian. They use a fake name to say outrageous things, post photos they normally wouldnt, Ect... I just feel like the whole narritive of this only being a issue of the past decade or so is very wrong. This is total domination on humanitys thought process. We are constanrly asking how do we fix the children. What about the adults who lets say arent young adults or have any reason to struggle financially, but they choose to ruin their childs mind. Look deeper into abuse cases. Murder cases. It will showyou the real lengths people go to stay in their fantasy world.

I've seen the changes since the early 2000's. Monetizing started to inch its way in and by now we are bombarded. People can benefit greatly by the ease of researching information. The majority of people use social media for personal interaction. The word "Influencer" has become a coveted thing. Sadly, people require personal interaction in real life, away from social media. They need to socially interact with each other off of social media. People need to bond with others. Bonding online has had some positive effects, but people need to remain vigilant in their interactions.

Very instructive video for me personally. The metaverse has to be structured like the open web: built on open protocols which anyone can build on, so the network, the virtual world, cannot be monopolized or bought (like Elon with twitter). If it can be bought by a kremlin asset or a psycopath, it will be. The same goes with social media: through EU regulations and tech innovations (open protocols) we have to change the rules of the game, sooner rather than later. I strongly believe AI and VR both promise and peril (I'd love to see a conversation between Professor Vaknin and Ray Kurzweil).

There were so many values in our vision for the digital future. Free exchange of knowledge and ideas, egality, creating a safe anonymous space in which all topics could be discussed, taboos would be broken, people would support each other in digital communities, whistleblower networks would reduce corruption in our democracies and help to create a transparent and fair international society. A few random 18 year olds could for example create a nationwide low-threshold mental health service, scare abusive professionals and cause a public scandal - with just a bit pocket money and a few hours of effort every week. Later, when „we are Anonymous“ surfaced, it didn’t sound awkward or scary, because this was just who we were. Our communities weren’t perfect, but we felt like we finally had the power to change things for the better. The future looked so golden and bright. Then came facebook and distorting algorithms. Then governments discovered surveillance. Maybe we were simply approaching the collapse of an unrealistic narcissistic fantasy. Maybe things have to become a lot worse. But those of us who didn’t die under suspicious circumstances are still here, waiting for realistic and safe ways to engage. Expect us. ; )

Maybe there could be a grassroots movement of sorts to have something like a council of sorts which feature different forms or iterations of AI all optimized towards their own unique perspectives or worldviews as they had been created by each of those respective groups of human traditions. Each "AI representative" could be made to share a very basic foundation of core human values while also having to some limited degree biases toward specified principles as given more or less importance or relative value within each well-defined group or population. Maybe there could be AI representatives of trees, or dogs, cats, grasses, mice, termites, fungi, etc...
