Welcome to the digital era, where intellectual discourse is akin to a playground brawl. Insults trump constructive dialogue, and ad hominem attacks run rampant. Society embraces shallowness over depth, trading wisdom for memes and selfies. Who’s to blame? Not technology, of course, but the flood of false information online. Why bother with books when TikToks and influencers offer instant gratification? Political debates devolve into mere character assassinations. We’ve become slaves to our devices, mindlessly scrolling through trivialities and inadvertently empowering AIs. But who cares when there are memes to post? Ah, the irony! Off to indulge in more distractions… Hemmingway awaits on my nightstand.
