While this isn’t “news” it’s very well put together, in such a way that it seems kind of significant? Did anyone else read it?
I just did and it made me want to take a break from the digital world once again and possibly make a good practice of intermittently taking technology breaks.. It might help someone else as well. But as the introduction suggested there is no new info here. Just a lot of 'perspective' stuff.
I mean, isn't this just a numbers game?
Like, I'm sure there's modeling software somehow that clearly describes that if X number of people post this specific narrative, then out of the population that receive the information containing that narrative, Y number of people will act in Z specific manner.
Once your population approaches infinity, then the certainty of specific outcomes from specific prompts rises towards 100%.
I too am driven by studies and data collected from my PNAS.
