We were not prepared, as a species, for a device that let us come up with any opinion at all and find validation for it.

It used to be that when you had an opinion that was wrong, you’d say it out loud a number of times, and you’d notice that everyone around you would call you an imbecile and ridicule you. It would make you reassess yourself and grow as a person.

Now that societal failsafe is gone. Now people just aren’t challenged for holding the wrong opinion.

That was an integral part of growing up and maturing. We don’t have a solution for it.

Yeah the very top post on hot right now has 9 comments lmao.

There is no one here. I mean I love the platform and the apps. I don’t go to Reddit anymore on my phone. But there’s no one here.

If I don’t go to Reddit at least once per day I’m going to miss news and events that are important to me.
