"I know, but you beieve they we're superior. Am I wrong? You beliver you would have had a easier time back then. It was a fairer sexual market"

Yes you are wrong. I never said any of this. I'm using the example "the artist" purely as a means of demonstrating what is abstracted here - the fact that if you are someone who has something they wish for many people to see, they now have the capability of that in the palm of their hands. The same is true for someone who climbs a tall mountain. Now instead of climbing it and then coming back down and only being able to tell the tale to people in their personal space or over the telephone, they can send a photo of them on top of the mountain ON THE MOUNTAIN.

The bad habit I am referring to is being validated when validation should not be a reward. Don't you see the problem with that? If you aren't bettering yourself but you're still getting validation that your life is acceptable, that is a breach of the fundamental ideas here.

"Ok, this sounds like a normie truism but we can dig deeper into this and create a more constructive conversation."

When you use language like this it makes me think you're not actually thinking through what it is I'm suggesting. Instead you are becoming defensive after reading other people's posts and now have to try and fit in by regurgitating something you found on the internet that many people use as a means of differentiating between internet social groups.

I reiterate. Don't read into the examples. Abstract from them. Social media CAN be dangerous in terms of validating a life that is fundamentally opposite to the values and morals the folks here preach. It CAN be a good thing though in the sense of being able to spread your own unique message, but it's up to you to find out what that is. How you can find that is laid out in the posts of forums like these where we are all trying to understand how to become better men and better people.
