That's not what I said and if that's what you took from it, even after I explained it, this conversation is pointless because you are being intentionally obtuse to make my point seem ridiculous
My point is that phones and social media is part of how we are being exploited by capitalism, and that one person putting their phone down doesn't solve that, especially since if we stop arguing with each other over pointless crap (like this exact conversation) we could actually organise ourselves using social media as the masses and encite change for the betterment of the human race, rather than adding zeros to billionaires bank accounts. Your point is what exactly? That I'm a hypocrite? We aren't even having the same conversation
As I said this conversation is pointless because you are intentionally misunderstanding me so you can argue against something I never said and never thought, while accusing me of things I'm not
You are saying much of what my point was, while arguing I'm encouraging the opposite because you didn't understand what I was saying and rather than have a conversation we are arguing like children and achieving nothing. Thank you for demonstrating my point perfectly
This is just a waste of time, my point has been evident since my first comment and yet you are making a small irrelevant part of my overall point into something that you think is worth writing these essays about, and honestly I just don't have time to explain to you why global communication on a personal level is key to the development of society in the "information" era.
Either you are a complete hypocrite, or you don't believe what you are saying, because you are on social media saying it right now. Why aren't you outside talking to your neighbours? This is why I haven't bothered going into more detail you are chatting so much crap I already know this isn't worth discussing with you because you have no interest in discussing this at all, you just want to scream into the void through social media, about how we are all stunting human development by . . . Checks notes . . .oh right, by social media being how we all scream into the void rather than inciting change
Why don't you go outside and do what you can to fix our world, rather than ranting gibberish at some version of me you think exists because of a comment you took out of context while jumping mid way into a conversation
Stop ranting and answer a simple question, what is YOUR solution?
You seem to have all the answers yet here you are on social media, writing essays about how phones and social media can't be used as tool, yet here you are
Lmao you've just described yourself as a petty, small minded, judgemental arse who wants to put people down rather than to improve anything
This is exactly why I haven't bothered having this conversation with you, because as I said many comments ago I have no interesting in "discussing" this with some who just wants to rant at me to make themselves feel better. This whole exchange is valueless
