The Social Dilema (Netflix Movie) and RL

[mm33dd]

It's nothing you haven't think about, but it is a disturbing reality. I bailed on IG like a month ago cause it makes me anger to see such levels of stupidty around the world... for example, here where I live, someone had the brillant idea "Chlorine dioxide kills any virus (covid19 related)" and some child died after their parents gave'em, and it's everywhere, people on facebook, tv, ig, is actually debating if it works, as the actual debating of the autisim-vaxine realted thing or the covid hoax, you know what I mean. I gave up, you end up don't giving a f*ck about anything, all the opinions end up being nonsense. For god sake, I almost became an hermit.
Something had taken away my will to fight against stupidity and miss-information, It's like I bailed on humanity's faith, but somehow I can't stop feeling guilty about all. To seeing some friends going xenophobics, supporting mediaval killings, you get the idea, it is already happening in US and some other countries, people have gone nuts by a 200%, our minds are being sabotaged.
At age 17-25 I guess, I liked to debate to death, I had a flat-earthed friend, we came to the point I ended up teaching him physics, gave'em fine examples of why that cannot be, but he insisted, and insisted... (actually I won that one, I won't going to let you think by any means that earth is flat) I used to had some sharps ideas about local politics and valid arguments to sustain that, but not anymore, the news channels have sown the hatred, and personal opinions became a "declaration of war". How can you get people out of the matrix? How do I know if something is TRUE? I don't really know, and it pisses me off so hard. I can't just be like Ice-T and don't give a sh*t about anything cause it terrifies me to think that maybe, my generation ('88) and some other behind me will be the lastest who tasted a spoon of the real world, and not to live and behave by "how much likes, replies and virtual attention" do you have. My lil sis is having self-esteem issues for some IG sh*t related thing, the world media is whispering to her ears that his body isn't the "normal". I tried to help her as much as I can offering my advice on basically "don't let other people decides who you are" and to delete the app, but she was BORN with it!
It's not like all the sudden the world has become a f*cked up place, It has always been so, the thing is now we can actually see it by ourselves.
Do you have an opinion about this matter? How does this make you feel? Do you actually care about something that isn't you?

I am a physician. And I wish to say that people should believe in medical community who are abiding by evidence-based medicine and want the best for you. And stop using homeopathy (diluted stuff), it's a scam. Herbal medicine on the other if used appropriately can be used as treatment.

Thank you for your attention.

Reworking sig

I use IG and YT for work, run ads on people and -- you know that feeling those fudgers are listening to you? It's because their behaviour pattern is so all-encompassing they can actually PREDICT what you are going to talk about.

Also Netflix making a doc about Social media biz model is like a coke lord making a doc about the dangers of hemp. Wave after wave of, ahem "Recomendations".

Try "The Hater' for what it actually can look like, based on a true story too. It's on Netflix too.

I work with those fudgers everyday - content, ads, products - and when shift is done I just leave the phone in another room.

And what about political sciences?

[NOVA-5]

That'll be along the same lines of lies & deceit they spread.

political sciences

Anything that has to justify itself by putting "science" or "studies" after it is not science.

I'm thinking my recent name change is very much reflecting my personal opinions about all this real world stuff. So much going on and honestly I'm not at all interested.
Ever since I was being diagnosed with MS last year, all I'm really caring for is living my life the way I'm enjoying it to the fullest. And I'm no good at this because so much I still need changing in my life. I'm working on it.
Truthfully? So long that engine is vibrating infront of me, I'm blissfully happy.
Nothing really is mattering a lot come end of a day other than one was doing their best try finding some consolidation on who they are.
Just some random cents from me.
