Tristan Harris was in "The Social Dilemma". Which is all about what they call here the "Cultural Derangement Syndrome". Aka "Fracturing Reality". This is serious stuff and dangerous to our existence. So they say. That Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have led to erosion of our shared realitiy.
This is most surely worth a listen and ponder. What to do about it? Their suggestions about Global Solutions is going to cause angst amongst many. But clearly something needs be done about the unintended consequences of the growth of social media.
