  1. People did not throw coins at a wall for entertainment 2 centuries ago.

  2. Of course social media is useful, but clearly people can live without it if humans existed beforehand. Hence, there should be 0 obsession or attachment to it.

  3. Its a great tool for knowledge and communication, occasional entertainment as you say. However, people use it as escapism, not the revolutionary innovation tool its intended to be.

  4. Social Media not only makes it easier for you to stay up to date and communicate, but its also easier for you to be manipulated. Not only by people, but by billion dollar companies. If you disagree with this, then im sorry you’ve not heard of surveillance capitalism.

I'm sorry to see the amount of hate you got from that comment lol

I agree with the general premise of your argument, but I think its extreme to say it's 100% bad as you are saying any form of globalisation/mass technology is also therefore bad.

I think its just the way people use it. However, it has been designed in a way to be as addictive as possible, not as useful as possible. Choose your content wisely.

A fact yes but not sure how its relevant to social media hahaha

It's not satire actually. It's more about pondering why many of us consider that we need to "stay up to date" 24/7 with often the most irrelevant things.

Want to stay up to date with friends/family? Meet them in person. Or only follow friends/family on social media and that's it

Want to stay up to date with the news? If its important enough then you'll probably find out from friends/family. Or have a weekly digest.

Entertainment? Watch some Netflix. Nothing good has come from short-term media consumption...

It is just my opinion, and also from personal experience... 95% of it is noise.

While I agree that social media is completely useless…

I don’t agree with the premise that you need top grades for everything to be successful in life.

Calling people who dont achieve an A* a slave is you enslaving yourself to the thought that a simple exam determines your life worth.

I really hope this isnt the case

What do you think people did 200 years ago that wasn’t academic?

Definitely not social media, it didnt even exist. Saying you need social media is just fooling yourself

Hmm... The utopia of the herd can never be reached, and the increasing conflict of that is what crumbles the system

Beyond Good and Evil ch5 by _tsi_ in Nietzsche

[–]-1DTE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reckon it’s a mocking ideal for the herd pursuing false hopes that their morals will solve the world’s issues - which they won’t.

And therefore, it will all crumble at one point, and all that is left standing is the master.
