I have been wanting the world to make something like this for several years now. It’s not just that I wanted it to exist, it’s that I knew that when 1. Someone called out the phenomenon 2. Someone started publicly applying the phenomenon to media3. Others started sharing that info…then I would know that we as a species are beginning to develop social antibodies against capitalistic exploitation of our evolutionary tendencies. (What the fuck, Face? How’s that bong?)No but — Mental health/talking about mental health has been destigmatized more in the past 30 years. As a result, people are seeking it more. We as a society are more supportive of neurodiversity and getting the treatments we need. There are sites like Your Logical Fallacy Is and Snopes which provide tools to assist critical thinking. Critical thinking is becoming more widely seen as a life skill — just to cut thru the BS. And now we are finally beginning to do the same thing for brain exploits. If we keep this up, how long before we start legislating against their use? It used to be legal to advertise tobacco products to kids and now it ain’t. So yeah pardon my while I sigh in happiness — this may not be a huge turning point but it’s a milestone. -- source link
