Separated from his product, man himself produces all the details of his world with ever increasing power, and thus finds himself ever more separated from his world. The more his life is now his product, the more he is separated from his life. - Guy Debord, The Society Of The Spectable

We need more warnings about amusing ourselves to death

The leaders of those tech companies did all they could to keep the discussion within the “numb stance of the technological idiot.” You can even see McLuhan’s point in Mark Zuckerberg’s famous quasi-apology to the parents of those dead kids:

I'm sorry. Everything that you all gone through, it's terrible. No one should have to go through the things that your families have suffered and this is why we invest so much and are going to continue doing industry-leading efforts to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things that your families have had to suffer.

In other words: We’re already the best in the business at content moderation, so I can’t promise you that we’ll do better in the future, but we’ll continue doing what we’re doing to remove harmful content from the 5 hours that your children now spend each day on social media.

Let me be clear: there is no way to make social media safe for children by just making the content less toxic. It’s the phone-based childhood that is harming them, regardless of what they watch.

Jonathan Haidt, After Babel
