      In one area after another, social media seems to cause increasing anger and strife.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/18/magazine/when-the-revolution-came-for-amy-cuddy.html …

      Is this the new normal, or will we eventually develop customs for limiting it? If I had to guess, I'd say: some of each.

          An interesting analogy to this is Egypt post revolution. It was pretty much pandemonium as ppl tested the limits of their newfound freedom..

          Watching such a fledgling democracy was like watching a Montecarlo simulation—you had to test it to near failure to start knowing the limits

          Interestingly enough, the "older" social media (i.e. blogs), helped progress the scientific discourse in this example.

          Blogs and wikis mitigate a lot of the weird effects of "full" social media - the massive political awfulness, too. Not clear if that means they'll be a cure, or passed up by not getting the benefits, or something else entirely.

          I actually believe social media as we know it is dying because young people already realize that it brings out the worst in us.

          coincidentally was just reading an ethics case study on FB & Beacon fiasco, interesting to see how we got to here: http://www.corporate-ethics.org/pdf/Facebook%20_A_business_ethics-case_bri-1006a.pdf …

          Galileo presented data contrary to what the Church believed in. Scientists have to fight on many fronts. Perception is one of them.

          Need of non-partisan tool as pervasive/integrated as hypertext, capable of weighing utility/ethics. Not ban, but prescriptive “value”.
