Mike Solana on Twitter: "i’m realizing people still don’t seem to appreciate the degree to which viral information sharing at the scale of hundreds of millions of people is *itself* the problem"

  Americans think they are such free thinkers, their ideas are totally unique & their own. They will never accept that they don't have an original idea in their head, it all comes from somewhere. The echo chamber reinforces & amplifies this in a visceral way.

  It's too easy to find an enemy to blame (Facebook, Twitter, Fox news, CNN, literally anyone), when the true enemy is virality itself: human nature causes us to share content that is enraging, fear-inducing, exaggerated, and worse. optimization for virality has been a mistake

  What about a traditional print newspaper back in the 90s when there was less chance to refute something in there that wasn't true?
