I think one of the most significant issues we’re dealing with currently that he mentioned briefly is social media. Social media is almost entirely a facade. People post what they want other people to see giving people a severe false sense of other’s reality. People post these pictures of these lavish vacations or happy family photos when in reality they’re in massive debt or on the brink of divorce. People then see these mirages so to speak and wonder why their lives aren’t that great meanwhile they’re doing the same thing on their social media. It’s keeping up with the Jones’s on steroids. Social media has become a cultural cancer.

my wife literally unfriended me on social media but still posts family pictures of us all smiling and happy so that no one will suspect how miserable things actually are. i kind of think that's social media in a nutshell in 2023.
