Re: Faecebook results exclude people who dont give a shit about Faecebook
Yes, here is the cogent argument:
Social media give the illusion of being engaged with other human beings, without the messy realities:
While technologies are strictly morally neutral, the outcomes in human society are not.
Social media have made our society worse, in that the people within them are becoming less happy, and have less valid lives.
They do not believe this, in the same way that drug addicts do not. If you have met drug addicts, you will know that they are NOT an alien race, but neither do they start at social norms. They have a particular anxious streak & outlook, and they have been presented by society with an alternative path. They took it, as an escape, they have got to a very bad place, and the route back is not possible without some help. Crystal meth is a morally neutral technology too - it is just a chemical compound.
The place that people have got to when addicted to social media, excludes live friendships forming.
If you wish to claim that live friendships are not a good for people, then this can no longer be argued logically - it is simply an axiom. I claim they are the basis of living a good human life.
