Keep spreading the word Tristan Harris. We all need to hear this

[@sumitrajpal4167]

I admire Tristan Harris a lot, I totally support his work.

It’s not only the algorithms but the people creating and editing them that are perpetuating the worst parts of us.

[@loveiverwashereasherself4803]

They have the capability of creating positive algorithms and they are there if you pay attention closely 😊

I cant understand why we need Facebook. I Quit Facebook 8 years ago and you know what happen? Nothing, Everything is just like before had no real bearing in my life.

[@alejandramarquez6804]

We dont need it. But what is the point not use it and people around you does? I love solitude but also I like people. And it is difficult not use it and see yourself alone.

[@kris061000]

@@alejandramarquez6804 I agree with you that that we need people in our life as much as we need air but Facebook is not people,it's you alone with your phone and in the virtual reality that everyone creates for themselves while they are also alone with their phone. Get out and get together with people,talk,discus things,share memories. Isn't it more interesting to hear about what a person saw and experienced,rather just look at the picture they posted?Look at life at a different angle!Maybe just maybe you will see something you like!

[@matimandambha9468]

You quit Facebook and moved to Instagram. Doesn't change a thing.

They valued the headline in the same way we we value quotes. There’s no choice as free will is an illusion. Having no identity as a person is the panacea of knowing. What is identity except for a mere.thought? The blind spot is the optical blind spot whereby closing one eye whilst moving an image of a circle on the left and a cross on the right we notice one of the images “disappear”. Mind is simply a manifestation within awareness which is essentially what we are. Thinking and mind have been the major cause of human suffering as we identify with the images and words which we are indoctrinated with. Mind as matter as much as the walls and the ceiling. If you had no memory would you be able to think? Obviously not.Mind is memory. We fail to realize that all is but one. “We” are awareness and when awareness becomes aware of itself, there’s no mind.

[@itouchtheskyilovetrentino]

Thank you so much for talking of this very interesting argument. Very informative. Lovely watching and listening to you here at the top of the mountain of Italy.

Self-consciousness really matters! Knowing that what I'm using for is critical! Communication? Or Dating? What's the true purpose of these social media apps? Does they really help people to get closer in relationship? Or not? I know that these scholars did some research on it! Yet, most of them are negative....... Hardly to say, it's not good at all.

[@kris061000]

I think it's just we already know all the positives,it's everywhere,but we don't hear much about how we let it rob us from our own satisfaction in life.

[@billchen559]

@@kris061000 I can't agree with you more.

Seeing this now gives me the chills. It's like seeing that someone tried, but it was too little too late.

2 Corinthians 4 1 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Good night waved you

As a blind person, I am compelled to ask if we can use language other than "anti--blind" to get it what you're saying. Language is powerful and I believe we can we consider the language around what we're talking about here. Some people may think this is trivial, but I know that when there is stigma around Disability we need to question the way in which we use words.

[@ib3scope]

Angela Denise Davis Blind is an adjective that serves, writ large, to describe an inability to perceive a certain/specific stimulous. Thus, the most apt description of an inherent human process that results in a lack of conscious sensorial perception, spanning, across several senses, is cognitive/sensorial 'blindness'. Irrespective of word connotation with societally attached stigmas, the adjective 'blind', as it is conjuncted within the framework of a cognitive understanding most appropriately scientifically describes the underlying process unconsciously occurring in all of our lives.

[@thetoad7367]

Contrition you just spoke nonsense shut up.

[@craig4283]

Anti-Illusion might be more apt, especially with his "magician" reference. Irrespective of the denotation and the wide semantic field of "blind", language serves our profound need-to-belong and when this process goes awry, the appeal to science and linguistics falls on deaf ears. (irony intended). Perhaps you could write his organization directly about your concerns. This was 4 years ago, so maybe they have already changed. On the bright side, I think in this context it might be okay. But still you make a valid point...I'm not in your shoes. Tough one. (Even the idiom "fall on deaf ears" might be insensitive). Actually, that was not "intended" per se, but just popped in my mind subconsciously...wow...we drastically underestimate how much control we have. Time to start saying colleagues' names and create checklists.

[@TomiTapio]

Too much filler words and pretentiousness~

Hi Ted, i believe you saw me in you. Have you heard the bells?

[@chelseap2071]

Love the idea but not the term you came up with. Please think about the ableism behind the term "anti-blind."

[@johnny2303]

We cannot know ourselves until we know who created us. We are made in the image of God. He is the ultimate thing we do not see and so whatvwe do see is a reflection. Its a lie. This guy is showing us that we can figure this out on our own. Reality is what we do not see.

[@StopMoColorado]

Speaking of "Blind Spots", that "shot of the Earth from the Moon" was/is fake. First Giveaway: the "Earth" in that "shot" (a composite image: the "Earth" there is a NASA-created painting, the foreground a set...take any example of these image you can find, import it into Photoshop, and invert the brightness/luminance, for starters) is depicted as appearing to be the same size as the Moon appears from the Earth's surface. Watch the body language of Aldrin, Glenn, and Collins at the Press Conference after the event (or Aldrin's faces during Trump's recent talk on funding "Space Exploration". The biggest "anti-blind", though, would be the archival footage the Johnson Space Center (accidentally?) released showing Glenn and Co., with the CIA in their ears (literally), placing a picture in the window of their plane (you can see they're no higher than 40-50k feet above the Earth in that shot) faking a "view of the Earth" from "tens of thousands of miles away". You can find the footage in Siebrel's documentary (here on KZbin now, BTW), "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon". We can't get anywhere near - let alone through - the Earth's "Plasmasphere", as discussed in the relatively recently published paper (in Nature, November 27, 2014), "An Impenetrable Barrier to Ultrarelativistic Electrons in the VAB": www.nature.com/nature/journal/v515/n7528/full/nature13956.html?foxtrotcallback=true Once you get past that "Blind Spot", a lot of others will start to fall away, too.

StopMoColorado take a trip in one of Richard Branson’s shuttles and watch the illusory beliefs you adumbrated with such conviction vanish instantaneously; much like waking up from a nightmare. Delusions can be real for you but such bold statements are asinine and deep down you are aware of this. Unless you’re trolling and I took the bait.

[@hanaebenfares634]

We need someone to snapchat while on the moon to prove it! That's what social media is for

It sounds like you are dancing around intelligent design and suggesting that our species evolved from chimpanzees.
