Social Media is poison.

I don't quite see how it could be accomplished, but people need real community and social media isn't it. I can imagine some kind of local community center springing up all over the country, like Starbucks. Or the old Grange buildings. Especially when people seem to be leaving the cities and moving to smaller towns and working from home. To have some sort of local place to go and meet people face-to-face. Of course, Church is wonderful for this, but so many people are unchurched that something purely social seems needed.

I could imagine this tied to hobbies like wood-working or cooking or whatever. I think people long for wholesome connection and when they can't find that, they end up sending nude photos to strangers.

Like one comedian observed, when he was a kind they played with fireworks, knives and guns ...the herd got weeded out a bit ... but the safe and coddled kids never had to learn more than they learned in kindergarten resulting in people with low Common Sense Quotient.

It actually reveals the nature of people with little self control.

The craving for attention is fed by social media.
