We could def make social media less harmful but there's no political will for that
Hyperreality itself as Baudrillard said it? I don't think so
Also what you're talking about is definitely not just a thing in America, it's everywhere where Western culture has been spread and the technology is
Def not any less present in europe

I'd argue beauty standards especially from women referencing their own appearance are entirely artificially referential at this point do to social media. Its always been subjective obviously but now the referential feedback loop is so rapid and constant that its entirely warped peoples perceptions on that front.
Some people itt are kinda just misinterpreting the point
Yea u can individually disconnect urself from the internet all u want, but the whole world is speeding into the direction of internet dependency regardless

Wtf no just go out get a sandwich, go fishing I literally did it the other day
Wtf is fishing? Is that a dating app
I've noticed some ppl r ultra sensitive about how they're perceived
I don't know if this is more common now tho
I think this is best illustrated in the growing number of young women suffering from body dysmorphia and having cosmetic procedures like lip filler, botox, BBL etc in their 20s trying to adhere to the unrealistic expectations they're exposed to while browsing everyday
This only USA tho. Kids in europe dont go outside anymore either
Are you European
I hate doomers so much
It happens for reasons and you’d rather hate the people reacting to them than those real reasons themselves
No
I was thinking about this this the other day, I think technology enables world's not defied by physical to exist, which makes it possible for people to form there "realities" around non euclidean space.
Metaphysical world's in which people can form there beliefs off of.
Which is why I was saying technology will enable religion long term rather than kill it.
It enables art forms to transcend the boundaries of physical space and be something different and increasingly immersive.
If you look at how art derives art from itself and how worldviews are formed based off it it, I think that is an inevitable but not something that should be "feared".
I think technology is innately biological and it's evolution will coincide with the evolution of life itself, or it will just be a progression of life itself. As life is constantly molding to fit the needs of the environment that it occupies survival of species (if that is the main crux of life) will continue and art and philosophy (the attempt at understanding life will persist).
The form that occurs in is irrelevant as generational change will and does negate fears within coming generations.
So no, there is no way out, but I think everything will be "ok" regardless.
technology is the new religion
better get use to it
