It’s tempting to think that with more accurate data about schools, hospitals and other civilian infrastructure, this wouldn’t have happened. But I doubt it, because if Secretary Pete Hegseth is even nearly as bloodthirsty and careless about human life as the President of the UN General Assembly, Annalena Baerbock, he would probably have approved the double-tap bombing of the girls school knowing full-well what it was.

What I mean is — the tech isn’t the problem. It’s our leaders. And not just the crass, bombastic ones like Trump and Hegseth. Indeed, probably worst of all are the fake feminist foreign policy clowns from Europe.

What if you drink alcohol or use recreational drugs? You can still take the bus and won’t endanger anyone (unless you’re totally off your head). Drink/drugged drivers are a danger to everyone.

Yeh, I see your point. But I think every app’s design also nudges us one way or another

By that definition, Wikipedia and Google Search are social media too

Totally agree! I’ve also caught myself rehearsing snarky retorts while scrolling microblogging apps. I feel like a heckler there.

Join a choir. Same connection.
