Is Social Media Pandora's box / the forbidden fruit

Think about it.

Social media allows us access to all sorts of knowledge, good and bad, allows us so many tools of influence and power.

It brought about the rise in loud voices of angry confused immoral people of all sides

people use it as a tool of cheating, stalking, burglarizing homes, sexually assaulting people

it makes people envious, greedy, gluttonous, proud, lustful, sloths, not really wrath but meh

It's leader is Mark Zuckerberg

it was one of the major components of 2012 shift

It marked the beggining of the end of the traditional monogamous society.

Plenty of naysayers with their eyes closed will come to this realization in 20-30 years when polyamorous relationships are the new norm (srs).
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

Posting here with you degenerates is the closest I get to "social media"

Complete and utter trash and the downfall of our culture. The writing is on the wall, unless an EMP disables everything soon the sheep are too broken to ever become normal again I fear.
For every man, there is a sentence, a string of words, that has the power to destroy him

not only all of the chit you mentioned but the real underpinning that is destructive imo is big business ties to it

big business paying people money for opinions, and all that jazz

more reason why chit you see may not be real

this point imo is why its SO integrated into society. businesses wanted to leech into your lives that hard to sell for more $$

turning on the news was a specific act in the past. now they want to BOMBARD you, slam you with propaganda and just inundate you to the point that its inescapable because more $$

Social media is the worst thing to ever happen to humanity as a whole. Turned everyone into a bunch of self-absorbed narcissists who obsess over stupid chit and trying to virtue signal for a bunch of random strangers they have never met.

if its already opened, not using it to your advantage seems silly because its not going to be undone. I respect people's choice to but I don't think once it took the power it has now it is worth not using it IMO.

They are both metaphors in literature

they are very much similar

they both represent all of human evil in one "thing"

IMO social media is the most overrated thing in existence

The only thing it’s good for is looking busy when you have nothing to do in public

Connecting with other people face to face will always be superior to pixels on a screen

I lived life before social media and it certainly was a happier time to live in.

I only use it to organize my photos and keep in touch with like 10 people. Otherwise it’s useless to me.

MySpace was fun when it first came out in 2006 because our families weren’t on it so we could play music on our homepages and meet new people who turned our life into fun soap operas. That’s when I first met younger men. Then everyone went to ********, which is crap.
