Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam. Community has been on a slow decline in America since 1965. The combination of an increasingly isolated population and a 24-hour propaganda news cycle aimed to pit you against your neighbor has been a wild success.

If I hand a child a battery with leaky acid and it burns their hands, why should I be responsible? It's not my battery!!

Silicon Valley is just a scam. They've made billions off selling your data, and selling targeted ads with your own data to be shoved back into your face. Social media has ruined society. Every "innovation" has been some way of stealing from you, whether it's your data, your attention, or now, the entirety of documented humanity.
