I Don't Know If Calling It Trypophobia Is Accurate Or Not

But I do agree that current social media are doing great harm to real social interaction, as well as the formulation of a more real, and integrated kind of social consensus building.

I mean it's bad enough we already have Capitalism's factory mentality of segmentation, specialization, and narrow linearity to deal with. Now we add to it with this electrically bastardized version of supposed discourse. All in the name of attention grabbing for the sole purpose of capturing eyes and minds for ever more pervasive marketing, and obscene profits.

To say that it has to stop, though, without also recognizing that it is the larger system that is the real culprit is just to continue whistling in the dark.

Until we recognize that the larger, toxic, and horribly destructive economic operating system, that makes these kinds of mutations possible, is long passed needing to be replaced, we're just going to be finding ourselves confronting new versions of the same kinds of poison.

Social media is giving us trypophobia
