Yeah this was 100% required reading in my language arts class growing up. He starts a relationship with a blind woman too. And the company that manufactures the electric blanket knows about the issue and pays him off to keep him quiet.

Perhaps I misinterpreted your comment. You are correct that thinking the world would be perfect without social media is pretty juvenile thinking.

You act like social media is just providing access to the unfortunate state of the world rather than using manipulative algorithms to drive engagement by only showing the most inflammatory content. Whether it is technically factual or out right misinformation it only shows that which creates a strong emotional response thus only showing the worst the world has to offer. The fact you believe that is reality just goes to show how effective it is at creating despair.

“The Industrial Revolution [Internet] and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.”

Yes. I thought that was obvious.

Are you referring to the guy calling you a cop?

They banned you for breaking an unwritten rule? I don’t see anything in the rules about sad posts or even self disparagement.

OP, why do you believe you are on the whole bad?

I think morally I am good but a failure in many ways. I am broken and get in my own way when it comes to living a full life. But I am not wronging other people for the most part, just myself. Morality/ethics in general is very complex and subjective with two different interpretations of the same action giving wildly different judgements.

Is the community moving there?

Gattica was more in vitro fertilization.

I can barely run crysis, mostly because its code is a mess.

All they gotta do is bulk up with muscles.
