Any title seems reductive to the current state of our world so a timestamp is going to have to do.
I posted some of the below with the intent to incite thought that I wasn't seeing online. I’m sharing it again here as several people have asked me for links since then, and I’d absolutely love to open up the comment sections to any other thoughts you have or links you’d like to share.
Over the last few weeks I’ve also been thinking about who benefits in war, who benefits from the incessant, rarely productive, arguments happening back and forth on instagram as well as the hate, fear, and division it perpetuates? I can’t help to think about that part in Netflix’s The Social Dilemma where they explain that if you aren’t paying for the product (instagram) you are the product (pawn). Following the money always provides answers.
Anyway, some food for thought and lots of zig zag thinking from me.
