I’m disappointed in you. All of you. Letting Facebook ruin your Lives. I’m disappointed in me. Whether it’s chasing body image and FOMO or the spectacular devolution of critical thinking skills, the glorious mob mentality of group-think as people cluster together in siloed nonsense forwarding and reforwarding recirculated and stagnant conspiracy theories. I’m just disappointed.
Right now it’s the October 1st Terms of Service update in Facebook – but people bring to it the same PANIC and lack of thinking that they bring to everything else.
I think you like the drama. I think you like panic. I think you like getting worked up about tiny bullshit to keep from thinking about the REAL bullshit.
And I’m disappointed that that’s probably the truth. Does it get your adrenaline pumping? Does it get your heart going? Go ahead and freak out. Go ahead and post and repost that this image is YOURS and Facebook doesn’t have permission to do x, y or z even though you clicked the button that says “go ahead Facebook, you absolutely may do x, y and z”. I’m tired of your ignorance. Exhausted by it. On one end it’s tin foil hats and the other end its anti-vax and it’s ALL a huge anti-science, reactionary, panic-mongering, mindless herd-headed gallop towards the extinction of the species.
Not gonna say.
Not gonna.
