It's a very interesting innovation problem in itself, because if you can't foresee the beneficial effects of an invention, how could you possibly foresee the the negative consequences, which are really rather surprising. I don't think anyone anticipated them.

Maybe we all know the answer to that question because it's the same question as what happens when you're liked or disliked in real life. And I think that's broadly true. As far as we can tell, the brain chemistry of being liked and liking is exactly the same as the brain chemistry of

being liked or liking digitally, exactly the same, same part of the brain, the same dopamine release, the same mood effects. You know, we don't like being unpopular. We love being popular. It's as simple as that. So is there a difference? There is a difference, and it's one of quantity.

So if I were to try to meet as many people as I could in one day called Mike and curry favour with them, and, you know, if I tried really hard, I could probably meet five people called Mike and have a conversation with them, try to curry favor with them. And the friction of social physics means I can't really, it's hard to overexpose myself to these signals. That's not the case online.

If you go back to this very first question, this important first question you asked, which is, how many times has the Like button clicked? The people that use social media click it multiple times a day, 10, 20, 50. And so somebody receives or fails to receive those Likes, And we can do that at this very socially formative early teenage stage, and it can be deeply impactful.

So it's the overwhelming of our evolutionary circuits by being liked or liking at a frequency that evolution didn't design us to handle.
