I'm not 100% sure about your definition of 'fractured world' Snowden, but what I do observe are the majority of people today stuck in a web of social media addiction.

Whether it be FB, IG, Tik Tok or whatever, three generations of one family often sit in silence in a public place aimlessly scrolling and occasionally uttering monosyllabic grunts at each other.

I don't know about others, but I observe this often in restaurants, coffee shops etc.

Just imagine going back to the late 90s and telling people that in the near future a large chunk of the world's population would spend their time, their finite time on this beautiful planet, engaged in a corporate psychological thought experiment gone wrong.

Never before in the history of our species has anyone or anything has more influence to shape how humans think and behave than the state captured corporate kingpins of contemporary social media.

Perhaps, Snowden, when you talk about a 'fractured world' you are referring to the world of political polarization exacerbated by social media and the legacy media which are using algorithms to divide and radicalize in the name of engagement and growth.

I'm glad that I've found a decentralized alternative in Nostr, which offers an alternative to this frightening phenomenon of addiction and mind control that most people are blindly operating within.

What are your through, Snowden?
