Ex-Facebook president Sean Parker: site made to exploit human 'vulnerability'
“It’s a social-validation feedback loop … exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with, because you’re exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology.” ~ Sean Parker - Ex-Facebook president
“I don’t know if I really understood the consequences of what I was saying,” he added, pointing to “unintended consequences” that arise when a network grows to have more than 2 billion users.
“It literally changes your relationship with society, with each other. It probably interferes with productivity in weird ways. God only knows what it’s doing to our children’s brains,” ~ Sean Parker - Ex-Facebook president
For eons now it seems the thrust of civilization schemes has been to exploit human vulnerability for the express creation of comfort, as in, comfortable people are less vulnerable, less impulsive, more docile, and less likely to spawn barbaric conquest. These mass opiate schemes do serve their purpose, but the natural heart of man is a die-hard animal and is constantly berating the host for "taking too much opium", at first a quiet, steady drum that later grows louder and increases tempo. Something's got to give!
