Over 1 billion people use Facebook actively. Imagine if those 1 billion people applied themselves doing something good for humanity.
It is said that Facebook has brought humanity together. In some ways it has. Mostly through false senses of fake friendships and efforts which never organize into anything.
If Facebook was truly a useful tool for your business, your political effort, keeping in touch with friends and family then why are all those things not better because of Facebook?
I am seriously asking YOU right now to imagine what 1 billion people spending 1 billion man hours being productive would look like.
Go ahead. Close your eyes and imagine the true potential of humanity.
If one billion people took their time they waste on Facebook and applied it to let's say... Planting a garden. Do you think there would be a hungry person on earth?
Let's say 1 billion people took the time they spent on Facebook and put it into building a business. Do you think there would be a lack of jobs?
I am sure out of those billions of people there has to be at least a few hundred who are wasting their time on Facebook who could be developing free energy systems, the cure to cancer(some would argue that exists) and solving the millions of issues humanity faces today.
Just imagine how charitable humanity truly can be if we stop focusing on ourselves on Facebook and start focusing on our humanity and others.
Do you really think you are any better than someone sleeping on their moms couch getting high day in and day out not doing anything other than watching reruns on TV?
You are not. Facebook is a high. It is an addiction. If you don't believe me, try to quit it. You may find yourself proven wrong immediately.
Facebook is a time waster. It's likely the greatest time wasting mechanism ever designed which has stifled innovation, productivity, action and most importantly it truly distances friendships and family more than anything else.
Do you have children? Imagine the time you spent on Facebook instead being used to teach your children. What a wonderful thought, parents spending time with children.
I have come to this conclusion from many reasons. Mostly because I have found that Facebook is a vile cesspool of centralized negativity and propaganda. I have wasted so much time arguing fake people, with fake agendas, about fake information, over fake people running fake elections, making me into a bitter person.
My brain. It's my brain and no one else's. We may not own many things or anything other than what we think. It's been proven that Facebook is used as a tool to manipulate public perceptions. Why allow people to control the way you think? Are you angry? Are you sad?
Have you become desensitized to the world by scrolling past overdose status to overdoes status looking at pictures of warfare and police brutality as if it is the norm?
Do you really think Facebook would be allowed to exist if it actually benefited humanity? I doubt it. I highly doubt it.
The world is an interesting place. The platform of Facebook has become a megalith of power which we all know is heavily centralized. This power does not go not used by those who wish to control us for their own ends.
Delete their Facebook apps. They are spying on everything you do. They are stifling your productivity. You can make this world better one community at a time if you spend time wasted on Facebook actually being useful.
A billion people, staring at their screens looking at memes.
Oh where have we lost our way?
