The idea that human nature is rotten and cannot change is a core belief in Christianity, capitalism, and conservatism in general. It's one of the oldest and most contentious political and philosophical debates. It's OK to take the misanthrope position, but you shouldn't speak about your opinion like it's settled and obvious fact.
Fuck civility
your posts in this thread were so masturbatory that I deleted them all before we got even more jizz on the carpet
Congrats on nuking half the thread.
oh were you using that half?
I would've liked the option to do so. Just ban people if they're annoying but keep the comments up.
that’s great thanks
"lounge carpet smelling like piss" is not a thing many people want in their lounges

they can go piss themselves! over there somewhere. that isn't here.
Yeah this is stupid because if you actually believe this than leave, what are you doing here?
the worst part of social media is you
If you're a contrarian just because "someone needs to play the part", ergo society expects someone to be a contrarian, aren't you actually a conformist? #makesyouthink
I am not interested in anecdotes.
I can absolutely reject your anecdotes and I do.
And this has to do with the posted article how?

> there are already plenty of example cases where forcing the reduction of the use of social media improved the overall mental well being of children and adolescents
[citation needed]
There is so credible established body of research that determines any casual relationship between social media use and wellbeing.
Correlations? Sure tons of studies showing those arguably maybe.
Proof of causation?
Nope, there is none, they have attached theirself to a story/narrative that is more seductive than the truth.
@qyron
Ah, vibes, I see
They say on social media.
Could you both please not be embarrassing?
Also what does anything of this have to do with the article?
It's called "irony".
