#thread #socialmedia authenticity on platforms and fake purses on sidewalks
Like, I remember a world before social media, before all forms of social media, and now in 2023, people are so dependent, they're so pavlovian about platforms that as soon as a platform is announced, the first thing they can think to do is not hug their children, is not call their old auntie. No. It's to upload some cheesy looking photo of them and then Thread. Why? Because you have then given Thread more value

I just want to high five you and say, I completely agree. We only have a certain amount of time during each day. Do we spend it trying to catch up with other people's drive, or do we define our own drive? The fear of missing out is a huge, huge force. The idea of maybe getting a hit of dopamine mean in a sort of environment that feeds you spoonfuls just by joining it ports all your information

Social media is quick to do that. Well, you didn't mention this. Well just because I didn't mention it doesn't mean I don't think it because in 2 seconds when I sit there and put all my content out there at one time, well, then you all get intimidated by not you per se, but this is a culture of social media. People get intimidated. It's too much information so that they don't read

So that's why we now have people that are so interdependent with social media platforms that they don't even know how to live their lives. They live their lives through the lens of, how can I upload this to a social media site? Like, we now live in the cloud. Can you just live for the sake of living? Speaking of meta, I'm getting really meta here. Can you just live your life? Is everything mediated through social media platforms?

This is a piss competition. This is just like Britain versus France, right? This is Battleship. And I don't think these people realize that they are just pawns. And these men what is it? Robber barons and captains of social media industry. That's what we're doing. I'm on threat. Find me on threat. I'm like, do you not understand the scale at which you matter so little but make so much for these people?

I got time, I got time. I can respond. Yay now I'm actually going to let this play out. Just music vibe to it and know that you can do this too. That you can just sit and listen to beautiful music. You can just sit in the park. You do not have to be ironically on a social media platform
