not me finishing The Social Dilemma and immediately wanting to talk about it on twitter dot com
i don't think i could or would ever delete this app, but i think the ultimate proposal of the film is a cry for media literacy. to make sure you are stepping outside of the information you receive and think about it contextually.
it does have big "kids be looking at their phones to much" energy, especially with the narrative portions. but it does go beyond what we have heard before, that of social media addiction, depression associated with social media, and how it created a new need for validation
the most potent part was its discussion of politics and how social media plays a key part in the creation of our individual political ideologies and beliefs, and invigorates them. making them appear as truth.
and if we, generally speaking, can not agree on a universal truth, how could we ever communicate.
end thread...sorry im ranting. much to think about
