And sometimes that's just silly and fun, but other times it's actually what you're looking at is a crack that is going to turn into a chasm in that person's life.

And

I mean, I'm taking this way too seriously.

But the serious thing about it, I think, is that it's kind of the engine that drives the internet and social media is engagement via something shocking or weird or loud.

And it's kind of the way that discourse has gone now as well, like on a more serious level.

everything is engineered and geared towards whoever shouts the loudest whoever is most absolutely sure of their own views whoever expresses those views in the most extreme way they are going to be prioritized by the algorithm and it's there's a cost to that i think and bound up in that is this idea of virality and i think you see the cost all around like more and more and

And the way that it's being dealt with is almost as mad.

You know, people getting arrested for tweets or whatever and people getting assassinated and stuff.

And you may, and I do, when I think of those things, I feel like I disagree so strongly and I find it so objectionable.

A lot of the things that the content of those tweets or the things that were being said or whatever, but you're like arresting these people and

executing them in front of their families is not going to sort it out.

That's what the baddies do.

I feel like there's a connection between that kind of prioritization of like extreme content and the way that people talk more and more, especially in online spaces.

Amazing.

Thank you.

And that is it.
