interesting discussion point for anyone interested:

social media (and genai if you wanna talk about that as well) has fostered such a level of entitlement and ego in so many people and i just think that's interesting to think about. obviously it's great for connecting with people you wouldn't know otherwise--but then with that, is it taking away from connections you could make irl? here are some points that i think help contextualize my point:

1) infinite access to knowledge, creativity, and other people's lives

2) can comment anything they want - sharing opinions turns into trying to police others' choices 

3) instant gratification (if you wanna go the AI route). these things are so sycophantic and it's so unhealthy. 

4) people have these weird relationships with like "owning" celebrities and feeling entitled to them, which definitely taps into modern pop and celeb culture but is definitely aided by social media

5) confirmation bias due to the algorithm 

there's probably more, but if anyone wants to discuss please feel free cuz i think it would be interesting to hear y'all's thoughts!
