the undisputed king of brain rot is tiktok and youtube shorts imo - that shit is literally like a mind weapon that has probably done more to destroy the attention span of kids that anythign else in history
Yeah, not only kids, I've seen my father, a hard worker his whole life, being productive all the time, get sucked into mindless shorts watching more often than would be healthy for his aging brain.
For kids, they'll carry the irreversible damage for the rest of their lives. That's even worse.
But one can one do... It's a free market, isn't it?

it can hook any age, but especially messes up with little developing brains. i legitimately think it's regressive to humanity.
but as you say, it is a free market and now the genie is out of the bottle, there's no going back

This kind of issue does not push you to question the free market as the best solution of all paradigm?
Genuinely asking. I'm not really a free market maximalist just yet, even though I've come to appreciate it more, so it's something I wonder about.

i've often enjoyed fantasising about the things i would ban if i had the power lol, the problem with things outside of a free-market-driven system is the issue of who gets to be the decider, and why should one person be it.
like the soviet union banning jeans and things, eventually people will still get them.
so by the genie being out of the box, I mean the creation of shorts as a thing.
