I think the opposite can be said too. t's pushed society forward in so many great places as well.

I'm not saying there should be no internet. I am only saying maybe some restraint would be advantageous for everyone.

Everything evolves as a wave of extremes and eventually finds some sort of equilibrium, trying to contain that is a fool's errand.

Or a new normal... paved roads and cars in the US was once pretty extreme, until it became normal. Did you be it's grownup and tell it to go to bed on time, did you make a futile effort to stunt its growth or did you roll over. Story of the frog in boiling water.

Ever notice how some roads aren't paved?

Why are you responding to me on the internet?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

.... why don't you have reading comprehension?

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe it's the Internet. You should show some "restraint".

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Wtf are you even on about now? Go head explain.

because Reductio ad absurdum is easier than confronting hard truths they don't want to accept and possibly risk firing off a dreadful thing called a "thought" in that inert mass of jello they call a brain.

You can say it directly next time.
