3:06 - ''Consumer internet businesses are about exploiting psychology.'' 3:54 - ''I feel treendous guilt'' [over Facebooks exploitation of consumer behavior ...its divisive effect on society] ... ''Even though we feigned this whole line of, like, There probably arent any really bad unintended consequences, I think in the back, deep, deep recesses of our minds, we kind of knew something bad could happen,'' 4:23 - ''n..we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works. That is truly where we are.'' 4:42 - ''If you feed the beast, that beast will destroy you. If you push back on it, we have a chance to control it and rein it in. And it is a point in time where people need to hard break from some of these tools and the things that you rely on. The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops that we have created are destroying how society works. No civil discourse, no cooperation, misinformation, mistruth. And it's not an American problem. This is not about Russian ads. This is a global problem. So we are in a really bad state of affairs right now, in my opinion. It is eroding the core foundations of how people behave by, and between, each other. And I don't have a good solution. You know, my solution is I just don't use these tools anymore. I haven't for years. It's created huge tension with my friends. Huge tensions in my social circles.'' |

5:55 - ''... I... innately didn't want to get programmed, and so I just tuned it out. ... And now to see what is happening, it really bums me out.'' 6:41 - ''...bad actors can now manipulate large swathes of people to do anything you want.'' 6:58 - ''...we compound the problem. ... We curate our lives around this perceived sense of perfection because we get rewarded in these short-term signals: hearts, likes, thumbs up. And we conflate that with value, and we conflate it with truth. And instead what it really is is fake brittle popularity - that's short term, and that leaves you even more, and admit it, vacant and empty [than] before you did it, because it forces you into this vicious cycle where you're like, 'What's the next thing I need to do now?' 'cause I need it back. Think about that compounded by 2 billion people. And then think about how people react to the perceptions of others. It's just... really, really bad.'' |

8:08 - ''I can control my decisions, which is 'I don't use this sh*t.' I can control my kids' decisions which is 'they're not allowed to use this sh*t.' ... But everybody else has to soul search a little bit more about what you're willing to do, because your behaviors... You don't realize it, but you are being programmed.'' 9:05 - ''Start by turning off your social apps and giving your brain a break. 'Cause then you will at least be a little bit more motivated to not be motivated by what everybody else fu*kin thinks about you.'' 9:18 - ''...posting your fu*king waffles online... is wiring your brain for superfast feedback. ... So you're training your brain here, whether you think it or not... These things where you're spending hours a day are rewiring your psychology and physiology...'' 10:09 - ''There's a reason why Steve Jobs was, like, anti-social media. I am telling you I am not on these fu*king apps.'' 10:19 - ''...I am proactively trying to rewire my brain chemistry to not be short-term focused.'' |

''Start by turning off your social apps and giving your brain a break. 'Cause then you will at least be a little bit more motivated to not be motivated by what everybody else fu*kin thinks about you.'' I've never used them, maybe that's why I don't give a fu*k what anybody else thinks about me. |

@ shadow27 - 1.04.18 - 02:47am - Rupert Murdoch to Facebook 'Pay up': 23 Jan. 2018 Media mogul Rupert Murdoch called on Facebook to pay ''trusted'' news publishers a carriage fee, similar to the model used by US cable companies. hmm.. Murdoch is one of the biggest cunts on the planet. |

White House chaos jeopardizes war on ISIS, U.S. commanders warn Were on the two-yard line, one U.S. special forces commander told NBC News. Were that close and now its coming apart. KOBANI, Syria The secret military base here is the epicenter of a four-year-old U.S.-led war against the Islamic State that American commanders say has succeeded in killing nearly 65,000 fighters. But just as the terrorist group looks to be on the brink of defeat, senior officials worry that their efforts will be wasted. Some U.S. commanders say what they perceive as a lack of guidance from the White House which sent Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster packing in a 9-day span is threatening their mission to destroy ISIS. Cracks are showing in America's alliance with the Kurds of northern Syria, who question whether they can rely on the U.S. under President Donald Trump. Were on the two-yard line. We could literally fall into the end zone. Were that close to total victory, to wiping out the ISIS caliphate in Syria, one U.S. special forces commander told NBC News. Were that close and now its coming apart. More than a half-dozen senior officials interviewed by NBC News shared the commanders views. full article:http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/white-house-chaos-jeopardizes-war-isis-u-s-commanders-warn-n859966 |
