    Its one of the filters, of the great filter.

    These people have NPC-ified themselves, and they basically have the AI behavior routines of zombies, just ones that can do a slightly more convincing emulation of socializing.

    Brain dead by way of vanity and consumerism.

    Sorry, turns out that a wide swath of humanity is too dumb to recognize what this stuff does to them, that our technological abilities have evolved way, way faster than our biology has.

    We never should have made computers this user friendly. Because, when, you do that, it lowers the barrier of entry/usage down so low that you end up programming the less aware users, moreso than the software.

    Not to mention that TikTok, Twitter/X and Facebook are all owned and controlled by delusional narcissist freak anti-social Epstein class people, who openly view normies as dumb cattle who exist to be distracted and surveilled and groomed and conned.

    So give them a simulation of socializing, a simulation of culture, a simulation of even rebelling against that culture… so long as they control the black box algorithm, the algo that knows them better than they know themself, the algo that harvests them via either subscription payments or data extraction.

    They figured out how to induce drug addiction behavior, without selling an actual drug… they hacked the human brain, via a much more advanced version of basically networked, interactive television.
