Early social media filled 05 with hope.

I made this software so you can scroll through headlines and select what you'd like to read!

Hope turned to horrible self-revelation.

My god.. They're only reading the headlines. It's the mental equivalent of reading a menu but never eating anything! We are broken machines! Broken!

By the time we realized the danger, incentive structures were firmly in place

People are so addicted to tiny scraps of decontextualizedi information that they're willing to give up their most intimate secrets in order to acquire more.

So then how much money can we make?

We'll have to invent new numbers.

The people resolved to revolt.

I'm angry at what I've become I've got to change things!

But, years of public behavior had eroded their ability to experience private feelings

If I quit, I can't tell people about how I quit! It's a catch-22, kind of!

Finally, the power of government was brought to bear.

We've banned social media it's too dangerous. Do you think there'll be any negative side-effects?

Our children will be better off.

Hey billy! Let's share verses we've written about dandelions, and then go visit the old mill!

You sure you don't wanna sit in an air-conditioned box and hate yourself for six hours a daya

Hahaha/isee you've been reading the history books!

But, they will never understand us

Mom, what're you doing?

I ate some good spaghetti today and I can use this searchlight to project it

Onto the empire state building.

Mom. You're scaring me.
