I think it’s a particularly difficult time in history to be our age. We are old enough to know better when it comes to falling victim to social media and yet young enough that it still gets its claws into us. I hate to come across as a doomsayer because I truly believe in the inherent decency of individuals but I’m afraid it will get much worse before it gets better. We now have multiple generations who are slaves to the social media world and under our current form of governance (and I don’t mean party politics I mean the entire system) I don’t see any hope for meaningful regulation or change
But like you I’m a 54 year old white male and I’m afraid that anything we say is akin to “you kids get off my lawn” 😉
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them. This one in particular is sort of a hub for a bunch of different ideas I've been throwing around, mostly around the vampiric rather than symbiotic relationship of ourselves to social media. But the dumbing down of culture isn't really expressed anywhere as precisely as an unfiltered social media feed.
I have enjoyed this new endeavor of yours!

Please keep writing this Nick, I've really been enjoying hearing these dumped thoughts onto the interwebs through your voice.
