Once we've made "digital visibility" the primary source of our identity, status and self-respect, we've doomed ourselves to wandering, compass-less, in a vast artificial wasteland.
That social media is addictive is self-evident. The temptation to continue scrolling is as limitless as the vast wasteland of content.
The destructive nature of this addiction is also self-evident. The net result of this addiction is depression, anxiety and rising rates of self-harm and suicide.
The immense profitability of addiction to screens and social media establishes the corporate incentives to increase their addictive power and thwart attempts to limit this profitable power. Who cares about self-harm and depression when shareholder value is at stake?
Though social media is pitched as connecting us all, it's actually about control: the platforms control the flow of user-created content, the addictive mechanisms and the monetization of user engagement.

I have for you a video of Harrison Butaker, the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs. He spoke at a commencement. He spoke of true conservative values. The City of Missouri Doxxed him for it, the Chiefs distanced themselves from him, and the NFL, well, they lost their minds. Anyway, it's a nice speech.

THIS VIDEO IS NOT NEW, IT IS FROM THE TIMES WE WERE UNDER "A TERRIBLE PANDEMIC" AND SUBJECTED TO LOTS OF RESTRICTIONS BUT IT'S NOT OVER, SOMEHOW IT IS WORSE NOW THAN 3 YEARS AGO. THE SO CALLED "PANDEMIC" WAS REALLY AN OPERATION TO TRANSITION INTO A 'NEW NORMAL', A 'NEW ORDER', A PROCESS TO ACCELERATE THE "GREAT RESET" AND THE 'AGENDA 2030. MANY PRODUCTS WE USED TO BUY, ARE NO LONGER IN SUPERMARKETS' SHELVES, EVERYTHING IS MORE EXPENSIVE, SMALLER AND OF LOWER QUALITY, THEY WANT TO ELIMINATE THE CONSUMPTION OF MEATS AND ANIMAL PRODUCTS, REPLACED BY PROTEIN FROM INSECTS, EVEN OUR GAS STOVES ARE BEING FORBIDDEN ALONG WITH CHARCOAL FOR BARBECUES AND EVENTUALLY ALL FUELS... POPULATION IS BEING REDUCED BY VACCINES' ADVERSE REACTIONS AND INFERTILITY...YOU ARE WARNED: NEW PSY-OPS "PANDEMICS" ARE IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW...
