This was a very interesting and insightful read.
I'd like to suggest anybody who sees my reply to go Google "mouse utopia experiment" and see what I mean when I say what I'm about to say...
I believe that we as human beings have essentially created our very own "mouse utopia" thanks to technology and the dawn of the Internet which gave birth to this thing we now simply call Social Media. Which is essentially an umbrella term for a variety of different social platforms which incorporate, well, media.
People in general from both sides have become disposable and the utilitarian mindset has been amplified to extreme heights compared to what it used to be back when we had to rely on eachother to get by and flourish; now we simply don't have to... for the most part.
It's too easy to just dump someone who you don't see fit either because they've disagreed with you on something frivolous, they don't do what you say, they won't give you what you want when you want it and how you want it! It's too simple now to just say "alright, bye then... I'll find someone who will, you're not important enough to be wasting my time."
I believe this will only get worse until finally we either learn our lesson and correct course or destroy our very social fabric and potentially take society down with it. Of course those who survive will pick up the pieces and rebuild but who is to say the cycle won't simply repeat?
Perhaps this is far-fetched and no doubt will seem like absolute garbage and impossible to some but the writing is on the wall and all you have to do is read it.
