I hate social media.

I feel like the more I study actual sciences, the more I learn to hate social media. I feel like we've gone so much backwards in social and cultural evolution since the social media companies took over. Not only are people generally very ignorant, but now we have the tools to efficiently spread all the old stereotypes and all kind of stupid shit, and people just eat it all up. All kinds of nut cases and plain losers have all the time in the world to tinker with this stuff, so if you ever feel like whole social media is full of unhinged people, then maybe it is.

Take this popular "self improvement" scene for example. While there may be few professional coaches and such, many of the so called "gurus" are just some random pundits talking like they know something important, when it's mostly just some losers glorifying and justifying their own insecurities and failures. Like there's this stupid push for selibacy, like you shouldn't date, have sex or watch any adult content. From a moral stand point I can understand it, and maybe you can save some money and time that way, but living like a monk simply won't make you an alpha tiger. Human interactions and modest sexuality are a very healthy and normal thing, not a disease.
