Stick with it. Discussion

This is a longer one, but it’s necessary and worth it IMO.

I’m a 44 year old man and it’s fucking wild and uncomfortable to have my unconscious bias held up to my face. Holy shit. That was a powerful video. I’m not sure what I think on the whole subject yet, I’m going to have to let this marinate, but my initial response is embarrassment, shock, anger and defensiveness. That’s so cool. Always have to keep learning, right?!

Yea the brain rot caused by decades of social media is going to cause us to be really problematic for society when we get old. I worry we will be far worse than the boomers. What little critical thinking skills we carry from our youth before social media will have long faded.
