:a-guy: I have held for years that social media is bad for your health but goddamn I hate being as right as I was. I need a Facebook burning emoji ASAP.

    Haven't listened yet, but one thing that worries me to no end about social media is what agencies like the :cia: are experimenting doing with it. Like imagining them trying to do MKUltra 2.0 but with social media gives me nightmares to think about.

      Something they discuss in the episode is that social media is effectively doing MKUltra 2 anyways, regardless of whether or not the feds are in control. It is a point I agree with, a generation of people locked into their screens, depressed, falling to mass psychosis, generating profit for Zuck and whoever off of an image of themselves that doesn't actually exist that is also being compared to people with full staffs and doing it full time. Its enough to drive people insane
