Diversity Makes Greatness
There is a perfectly good life without social media.
It is best to completely disregard it.
Delete all your accounts. Never look at social media again.
Social media is too corrosive to society because it exemplifies extremism.
Extremism is not America. Most Americans just want to live and let live.
The problem with social media is that it has learned how to monetize rumors.
That is very bad for America.
People get sucked in to social media and they think that is reality.
But it is not reality. It is unthinking people blurting and then having algorithms spread the most provocative and attention-getting trash far and wide simply for the purpose of keeping people clicking, keeping their attention so they can be hit with advertising.
Social media exemplifies the worst of our society, while the well-considered (and dull) thinking posts are shunned because they are not as enticing as trash posts.
And worse, Russian President Vladimir Putin uses this dynamic to get Americans to fight other Americans. It helps Putin to fuel American anger, to cause America to melt down and have Americans attack other Americans.
Why should Putin attack America when he can get Americans to attack other Americans FOR him?
Social Media is tearing away at the essence of American goodness.
Don't let it.
Either cancel all your accounts or learn to monitor yourself so that you do not get sucked in to the tabloid style of social media.
America needs to be better than a massive rumor machine.
