Gregory's Server@redchrision @caseynewton That may be true for you and me, but I’m certain that a significant fraction of the population will prefer a gentle, fictional world over harsh reality for many hours a day. Evidence: the fentanyl numbers.

@J12t @caseynewton It's a very light thing what social media does to our brains compared to the effects of drugs like fentanyl. A better comparison would be with VR, which imo has the same issue. It's great as a niche, awesome for gaming, but not adapted for mainstream social media and mass adoption similar to the 'classical' version of doing things. Our humanity has some control, it turns out.
