everything turned upside down. The open communication network we thought we were building turned into a hunting ground for trolls and spammers... Social media evolved into a confirmation bias-riddled cesspool of lies, hate... amount to little more than weightless collections of Retweets and Likes... with more tools to connect than ever before — we made our lives less diverse; racially, politically, and culturally... our silos of homogeneity... we only know each other through the false depictions created by those with an incentive to keep us at odds...
