Real politics. None of this Mr. Bill stuff. How to find and get involved with your state party, how to get a protest permit, how to get signatures for a campaign, how to read statistics and polling, and finally factual primers on issues.

Yeah I’m pretty sure I remember it getting called out there.
It’s not just short form video algorithms. Streaming TV shows are made to where they effectively end about 15 minutes into the next episode. Video games are workshopped right down to the sounds they use for loot boxes.
And all of that might have an effect, but that effect is pretty clearly to draw in normal people. Not to somehow create ADHD.
It was Saturday morning cartoons when I was a kid. Then it was video games. Now they blame TikTok.
Don’t believe those people. They want any excuse except the actual answer, that humanity exists on several sliding scales. And while there is a normative zone, it’s not at all abnormal to be outside that zone.
We’ve already run into problems with that where mods banned people talking about Israeli war crimes as “misinformation”. Despite it being headline news.
So that’s obviously not a great system.
My dude, the US doesn’t even have English as the official language and it doesn’t operate entirely in English either.
Hilarious story. I had that happen to me. I argued it so passionately they thought I actually believed in it. Surprised the hell out of them a year later when I wrote an opinion paper from the exact opposite direction.
