Social platforms make money through advertising, so they need to create conflicts and hatred among people in order to attract users' attention and sell ads to make money. This deformed business model will sooner or later devour social platforms. Just like a country cannot continue to survive by waging wars around the world and selling arms and printing money through the military-industrial complex. In the end, the military-industrial complex will also devour this country and its people.

Those are just symptoms of an even greater dynamic of human psychology. One element of human psychology that seems to keep coming to the surface is that control relieves anxiety. Why? Because we don’t know what the fuck we are doing so we need chaperones to guide us on this journey. Every story we have is about resolving conflict. From the Bible creation story on down to an episode of Winx Club, every story has conflict. Nobody wants a plotless play because we wouldn’t get any value from it. Every living thing on this planet lives by one rule. Most amount of gain for the least amount of effort. Socialism and communism seek to get something for the least amount of effort, violating the rule, which is why it cannot subdue chaos in perpetuity. The fiat debt system is the least worst way to subdue that chaos; until now. The very earth we stand on becomes solid with Bitcoin. It looks volatile against fiat, but the truth of it, the undeniable bedrock of it strangles the chaos and puts it in a box where it remains controlled. We don’t need to worry about the chaos anymore.

Great insight. I’ll add that apps like Tinder do not want you to fall in love and have children in a monogamous relationship…because then they’d lose a customer. They want lonely, sex-addicted, appearance obsessed users spending beyond their means. So if you happen to be fishing there, maybe pick another pond.
