This is persuasive design at its most.
I feel like doing my Dr. Evil.
The Mark Zuckerbergs of the world are the most mendacious pieces of human garbage that are out there.
They're literally creating products, creating platforms, creating software that
It pulls us in directions that we are not naturally designed to go in.
There's this Harvard sociologist, his name is Steven Pinker, and he has written a whole bunch of books and done a whole lot of studies about how we are actually designed to work things out.
We're designed to collaborate and to cooperate.
We're designed to get along.
That's how humanity has gotten to where it is.
And these platforms are literally, they're literally tearing us apart.
They're going right to the very heart of what it is to be a good human and stomping all over it with their steel cap boots.
There's always been a tendency to do that.

Like the craziness that happens after a soccer game for the losing side or even the winning side and that mob mentality where you just get swept up into it.
So like in a telephone line in the olden days, they used to have this thing that they called a repeater.
So you'd say something and then this repeater would pick up the signal of what you said and send it further down the line to the next repeater and the next repeater and the next repeater so that I would get it at the other end of the line.
Humans are basically repeaters.
We don't have a lot of our own thoughts.
What happens is we hear something and we're like, yeah, that seems about right for me.
And then we repeat it to other people.
