So many people's lives sort of start the day and end the day on these devices.

And we are being fed garbage, junk food, to keep us clicking and liking, to raise profits for a couple of five companies in the world.

And I think we're burning the place to the ground, honestly.

Now, one level under that is the deep fakes and the fake images and the fake videos that are being weaponized against individuals and organizations.

But it's a subset of a much larger issue that I think we all sort of know is there.

And what I find so fascinating about this conversation is I can't tell you how many people I have this conversation with where I say, we should get off of social media.

And they're like, yeah, yeah.

And they applaud.

And then they're like tweeting about that.

Yeah, exactly.

And knock it out of bed in the morning.

Yeah.

Well, I will tell you there are days where I think, yeah, this is over.

This is a good experiment, but this is the beginning of the end.

There are other days where I'm more hopeful.

But I do think that if...

We are passive.

We just say, it'll work itself out.

This is going to end badly.

We are on a path of no return.
