Why buying Twitter - extinctionists in control of social media

Concerns arise regarding the impact of social media on civilization, with claims that it perpetuates a damaging 'mind virus' that contributes to societal decay, exemplified by the current state of downtown San Francisco. This decay is attributed to a pervasive philosophy that not only promotes harmful ideas but actively suppresses dissenting perspectives, thus failing to withstand scrutiny. The discussion hints at a broader existential threat, identifying certain ideologies as 'extinctionist,' suggesting that some individuals openly advocate for a reduction of the human populace, reflecting a fatalistic attitude towards civilization.

The conversation emphasizes the need for a counter-narrative to these ideologies to protect the future of humanity and society.
