Anyway, social media is a net negative it seems. Mostly because people are bad at filtering information and now any idiot can reach massive audiences.
That's the reality, you want me to come to your home and give you a speech? We can only communicate via social media as I don't know you.

I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying it's ironic that we have this message from an extremely popular, wealthy celebrity.

I only saw that and not the whole interview...for all I know, Joe may have kicked him off after that j/k

Anyway, I try to see the msg instead of where it's from, w/i reason.

I took my wife out to one of our favorite restaurants for lunch a few days ago. There was a middle-aged couple sitting nearby. Both were diddling with their not-so-smartphones the entire time they were there, never once speaking to each other or looking out the windows to enjoy the beautiful ocean coastline.

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

Went to Mexico a few weeks ago and saw basically the same thing. People sitting just a few feet away from the amazing turquoise water and were completely oblivious. Faces buried in instagram / FB / tiktok.

Effectively ignoring the people they traveled with.

Who spends all that money on a flight and a resort to just sit and stare at the same 6" screen they look at while on the toilet, in bed, at the dinner table, etc..

I don't use it or pay much attention to its existence, so I haven't got a useful opinion about it. I've gathered it's got its good sides and its bad sides, like so much else in life.

I think we should all keep this in mind when doing any kind of social media interaction. Social media can be a great tool to stay connected with friends and family, share important news and information, and even create meaningful relationships. But it can also be a source of hurt and pain if not used responsibly.

My biggest issue is how its become "keeping up with the joneses" on a global scale. Im too critical for social media, dating apps, etc. I see every filter, every lie, every warmed door frame, I know its all carefully selected, etc.

Everyone gets on insta, takes their best snaps (Ive been at the beach and watched girls spend a half hour getting the PERFECT over the shoulder butt shot) of their best vacation, new toy, etc. Then they filter the shit out of it so it looks perfect. So if you look at everyones socials you only see literally the BEST of their life and even that is modified. So it looks like everyone is looking hot 24/7 and traveling to Bali every weekend like billionaires. Nobody is going to post that their car was repo'd, that they are eating ramen because they rent is about due, etc.

But people know THEY are "lying" that way but they cant do the math in their head that everyone else is also "lying" that way. So its creating a lot of social issues for people who assume everyone else's life is great 24/7 and theirs is shit*.

*of course there is the true compartmentalized narcissist who literally thinks they are perfect.
