Clearly they would rather be consumed by other things instead.
Well we're going to suffer until enough people do figure it out.
The sad part is that this is a very well known phenomena, yet people become too consumed by everything else to even care about learning of such warnings left behind by long dead civilizations.
Huh, that kind of gets the juices going, and I'm wondering how much we've been trying to make our problems fit the technologies we've built, rather than the other way around.
Civilization exists because enough people know that we're better off working together than against each other.
The guy's an idiot, no doubt. But he does have a point.
People on social media come from all walks of life, and have many different voices, some of them removed. If you don't want to engage with people like him, that's entirely understandable, and probably encouraged. If you DO want to engage with them, however, you should try and actually understand the message, instead of sneering like a fool because they didn't phrase it in a way that is pleasing to whatever social sensibilities your clique favours.
I mean, I do appreciate his argument, as it has been a very common trend for tech firms to say one thing while doing the exact opposite.
I was certain that headline was from The Onion.
Social media addicts are probably the only people in the whole world who don't already distinguish between different types of immigrants.
Because the real world doesn't operate on social media logic, so they actually respond with real human reactions.
They are attempting to address a social crisis brought on by legions of retards who never even attempt to understand anything about the world, and just parrot whatever social media tells them, oblivious to how incoherent that makes society.
If you don't like how they're attempting to solve it, then I would strongly recommend you actually start looking for something real you can meaningfully contribute to society, instead of just serving as attack dogs for any random person who types up something which triggers your feels.
You want to help improve society? GREAT! But it actually takes a lot of hard work to sift through the metric ton of confusing and conflicting information to actually understand anything about what's really happening, and most people are completely ignoring that part, thinking that people smarter than them will use the Internet to instruct them on what to do day to day. If you only ever get involved when other people are telling you what to do, you're nothing but a tool.
