Important opinions
“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 truth.”
Chamath Palihapitiya
Former Executive in Facebook
“If something is not a tool, it’s demanding things from you, manipulating you, using your psychology against you. Social media isn’t a tool waiting to be used—it has its own goals.”
Tristan Harris
The “Social Dilemma” Producer
“It’s the gradual, slight, imperceptible change in your behavior and perception that is the product.”
