Humanity will become stupid, if it already hasn't within the next 15 years.

The world has gone social media mad - constant daily selfies of people looking in the mirror posing, takin' pics.
A FUCKLOAD OF WOMEN on media, either "personal trainers,make-up artists, professional (ntaking other products no doubt, synthol, GH,steroids, bunch of meatheads) talking and flexing throughout the video about nothing of substance.
Gamers playing video games and recording themselves doing so, only to make a shit ton of money from people who clearly have no lives and are willing to sit through all that shit.
*edit - The makeup artists mentioned above, so many, all vying to make it as a makeup expert/Queen and hope to get their own line of makeup.
I can't even imagine how even more narcissistic the current generation will be in 10 years. It's seriously gotten out of hand (I think).

Un'fucking'real.



S.M.H. Everyon is playing dress up everyday.


WOW, just WOW.

You know, you're probably right. It just magnified all the crap to levels that are detrimental to our own mental health. (the irony)

I hear you. I've never even taken a selfie except when I was bit by a mosquito and my face swelled up so I could show my doctor. (Or when a guy has asked me to send him a pic of my boobies. LOL) To me, people look so arrogant and full of themselves in most selfies (not all). Everyone has become so proud of themselves for no reason. :confused: I don't get it. I don't even enjoy going downtown anymore unless I have to.


I didn't see anyone taking selfies in Back to the Future II.
 
Once basic needs of survival are met, people turn to the next most important thing, and on and on until there is nothing even remotely of any importance pressing you, and so you end up being captivated with something that is totally unimportant.

I regard sports in this light as well...

Getting all excited about a bunch of guys running around chasing a ball. Or spending huge amounts of time and money hitting a ball around the grass.

But it's logical. You gotta get excited about SOMETHING!
 
And it's all lead to people in their 20-30's to have such a sense of entitlement, it's out of control. Boo hoo,"I spent 4-5 years in university and I can't believe when I graduated I didn't get the corner office".

Football is a great work out especially for kids which also keeps them entartained and out of trouble. That's why so many kids are overweight now a days because they don't care about sports anymore. When I was growing up everybody were playing football and obesity wasn't issue in my school but I grew up in Europe.

Who are you to decide what is or isn't a life for other people?

What I find troubling is the whole trigger warning/safe place/feminist echo chamber bullshit.

Most of the entitlement culture is coming from seniors - "I spent 70 years breathing oxygen and was too stupid to save for my retirement, so y'all owe me a living".

Or "I'm broke coz my grown kids can't support themselves and they are still living in my basement due to their useless university degrees."

I am sure that "Arts or Philosophy" degree is doing you well.
 
The majority of social media is just modern day show-and-tell. Those guys and girls posting up are always taking their best shots or Photoshopping their pics and posting them to give the impression of an adventurous life. Most are just broke folks trying to feel important and yearning for that 0.000000000001% chance that they might post something viral for 15 minutes of fame or notoriety. Nothing inherently wrong with it.

Although I haven't played a video game in two decades, I understand their appeal, and the concept is very interesting. Creating virtual worlds and augmenting reality are modern forms or extensions of story books and film but sometimes better because you're an active participant.

I don't think any of these things cause any harm on the whole and also have benefits, like keeping otherwise idle people occupied and add a sense of connection or purpose to their lives. It also creates ongoing business opportunities.

I'm of the belief that the smart and ambitious folks will always create and utilize new technologies in ways that push our social evolution, and that there is no significant dumbing down affect on them.

Unrelated note: It is fascinating to look at how much has changed when it comes to tech. A few decades ago guys like Gates, Zuckerburg, etc were social misfits for being nerds. Now that nerdyness brings with it big money, they're prized examples of society's finest. Social media has actually made stars out of people that used to be relegated behind the scenes yet were responsible for the technologies we enjoy.
