    We were not prepared, as a species, for a device that let us come up with any opinion at all and find validation for it.

    It used to be that when you had an opinion that was wrong, you’d say it out loud a number of times, and you’d notice that everyone around you would call you an imbecile and ridicule you. It would make you reassess yourself and grow as a person.

    Now that societal failsafe is gone. Now people just aren’t challenged for holding the wrong opinion.

    That was an integral part of growing up and maturing. We don’t have a solution for it.









  • Yeah the issue is that with large online communities, your largest user group is always going to be that of least engagement.

    So users who just read stuff is your biggest group. Then comes users who made an account. Then comes users who up and downvote. And last comes users who post.

    It makes it very hard to grow a new social media platform.
