People really just did what the television told them to do during the mass media age.

I don’t expect the internet age to be much different.

Yup

I guess it’s just mass media all the way down.

We will know our civilization is peaking when it glorifies mothers and motherhood.

Until then….slop.

Only socials worth using is nostr - it's a breath of fresh air

In my experience the majority of people require an authority to tell them what to do. They find great comfort in the option to offload accountability.

People are sheeple.

If true, keep guard over what you say. You are and likely will continue to be an influential figure for who will prove to be the future elites.

95% of people respond entirely to authority and social messaging, which is why we need to change our strategy as Bitcoiners.

Monty Python, We're all individuals!

Does this mean Bitcoin will be cringe one day?

It’s not already?

Always has been

ARE YOU TELLIN' ME WHAT TO DO?!

'cos I'll do it. 😤

Ain't nobody tellin' me what to do! But if you say so, I might just have to! šŸ˜šŸ’Æ

People by and large want to be told what to do.

I think many people fail to think about their choices.

True. Most people just follow the loudest screen in front of them.

TV or internet, doesn’t matter.

The only difference now is that the noise got bigger, and the signal is harder to find.

That’s why thinking for yourself is a superpower.

We all mimic behavior or throw different perspectives on old ideas. Some of us still us shit posting to stay in the lime light. You got roped into supporting a felon and could be pedophile. When I was younger, I was told I had to vote for the party of ā€œlimited government ā€œ who then bailed out the banks with tax payer money.

We fly together…you flocking too ā€œbruhā€.

You think I’m posting exclusively on nostr because I’m trying to stay in the limelight? lol šŸ˜‚ bruh there’s no one here

🄹 Thought we were bros man. Even though you have that speech impediment that prevents you from pronouncing your own name correctly...

lol rhymes with bottle not modal

Niche surrounded by people who never really question, yes.

Some musicians prefer performing in local small venues.

If I wanted to be in an echo chamber I’d still be on bitcoin twitter. There’s arguably more diversity of thought here than over there.

Never had twitter, could not tell you the diversity. However, I’ve found some who like to question things here BUT it is very echoey on many things here. I haven’t heard much diversity at all on the many, many podcasts I listen to with you and everyone else. Any great idea will stand up to attacks and counter discussion…not much of that going on.

Agreed about the pods

One thing I will give you lots of credit for, is, you always respond. Whether someone is talking shit or asking a question, you always respond.

I’m not!
