Reply to comment by PositiveStrength5694 in The philosophy of Martin Heidegger who argued that the Technological mindset has destroyed our relationship to the world so that Nature is seen as so many resources to exploit. He presents an alternative: a poetic relationship to the world by thelivingphilosophy

To think he didn't live to see the the catastrophe that is social media. The platform it gives to idiots and the echo chamber of contracting world views and the abandonment of truth in favour of opinion. He must be spinning in his grave.

I mean he was a literal Nazi, I hope the only thing he's doing in his grave is miserably rotting in it.

Yeah and his journal entries reveal he wasn't just a Nazi because the Nazis were in power and it was required to be a member of the party in his academic position, but a true adherent and horrendously anti semetic.

It's possible that this opinion about social media is shared by many, many more people than one might expect. We only hear from the humans who use it. Maybe a mass exodus from social media is in our best interest. Including from Reddit.

See leaving social media would be cool, if I wasn’t disabled and could see friends in real life often.
