Quality of life has a lot to do with how you choose to spend your time.

I know lots of people that have no idea what Reddit is. They’ve never had a Facebook account.

Those aren’t happenstances - they are the result of the choice on what they spend their time doing.

I’m not surprised people who spend most of their time exposed to the rage bait that fills social media think the world is falling apart. Especially if you’re not aware that it’s not an accurate or balanced view of reality.

Something new to grapple with though is that (in the US) we have the most extremely online White House in history. Our highest ranking officials, with their departments, are on social media day in and day out, and make decisions motivated by it.

It's very strange.
