I think part of the problem today is that people write for the audience without actually considering their topic or the ramifications of it.
I get you there, and I agree. Perhaps it's a reflex of the internet age that gives voice to people who wouldn't voice themselves otherwise. But still, I consider it as positive. It gives a chance for people to look back and reconsider what they've written in the past; or it's a way for readers to access what's written and point out what's wrong.
However, as you correctly pointed out, most of what we see on social media is emotional. It's impossible to argue with someone emotional and help them perceive another point of view. Totally agree with you there.
Anyways, next years will me weird indeed in terms of communication as people study less, listen less, and talk more.
We have many chances in this world, few take them. For most, there is always the next drama to bandwagon onto, the next "social movement" engineered to take attention away from doing something of real import, another headline for the emotion suckers to feed upon. People fee that what they are doing is valuable, even while in the next breath they contradict their own position.
Yeah, what you said makes sense.. as if people are always looking for approval or to feel accepted.
Have you seen the so called 'canceling culture'? It's worrying to say the least. People bring back things written way into the past and go full blow against it, not leaving the writer a chance to reconsider.
After our quick chat here I believe we both agree: communication is key and the world is going somewhat the wrong way.
Heard of it, but I don't spend much time on centralized media and I don't watch the news at all. The world we support is a mess, and then we complain about it :)
