The Internet, which could have offered us infinite human conversations and new ideas.

Instead most fled to their bias confirmation and ever chanted for those who disagreed to be banned.

We are not that far down from the trees so this should not astonish the rational mind.

Still.

It is smacking sad.

We can invent all the technology
we like to talk to each other, but we cannot change what we are, there is no technological cure for the ever half wit, self certain, human condition.

Social media is just a loud speaker of human folly and not a cure.

We're more than 90% driven by instinct than reason.

This really makes me sad.

Because despite all my human despites, I like talking to people, learning new ideas.

Even having my ideas insulted and challenged.

You can insult the bugger out of my ideas.

I need to know that point of view.

I like that.

But social media is becoming so censor's real human conversation's are suspect and banned.
