Social Media -
Endless connection, zero awareness.
The feed moves fast so you don’t.
What distracts you rarely informs you, and noise is cheaper than control.
Distraction has become the new censorship — they don’t need to silence you if they can keep you scrolling.
Attention is the product, and if it’s free, it’s feeding on you.
An entertained mind rarely questions, because comfort is easier to manage than curiosity.
We traded depth for updates, mistaking constant stimulation for freedom, until distraction started to feel like control.
