Listened to a discussion yesterday with Steven Bartlett and Sam Harris at the same time as being drawn into a conversation on brexit on another platform which became an argument on their side.
Sam Harris described the profound impacts twitter had on his life and on our society, relationships, and mental health and wondering if AI will make this worse and the internet unusable? 📱💔
It’s no secret that platforms like Twitter and other social media giants have transformed the way we communicate and connect. However, this conversation shed light on the darker side of these platforms and their potential to influence our behaviors and emotions.
🔍 The question arises:
The power of hashtags, likes, and retweets can be intoxicating, pushing us to seek validation and acceptance from a digital audience.
But at what cost? 🤷♂️
Our genuine relationships, authentic interactions, and even mental well-being might be at stake.
🌍 As we navigate this digital age, it’s crucial to reflect on how we engage with social media. Are we truly connecting, or are we becoming detached, dopamine-desensitised which diminishes motivation to actually change the world, self-focused and aggressive? 🌍
Let’s ponder on the impact and take steps to mitigate the potential harm.
A thought-provoking conversation that encourages us to rethink our online presence. Perhaps not every invention is a force for good unless we first agree on ethical rules of engagement.
