Yet, the online environment we have created doesn't promote improvement, it encourages staying the same, isolating, loving yourself the way you are today, without having any will to improve for tomorrow.
Do you have data on this? I would have assumed the opposite, that people who spend a lot of time online are miserable because they're continually comparing their lives to others...
Is comparing life to others promoting improvement?
Isolation makes us miserable, which is why it is a punishment in prison.
No, sorry, I think you misunderstood, I was asking if you have data on online environments encouraging people stay the same and removing the will to improve. I'd like to dive in deeper to where you got this from.
No worries if you don't have anything, just curious if this was something you saw recently.
Observationally. Similar to how the data is just starting to be built on the damage smart phones and social media has on kids (something that I have been talking about for 15 years), the data will arrive. There are heaps of little pieces that point to certain outcomes (like isolation and lack of social connection for depression), but there is a meta in play.
Want to improve and will to improve are different, right? I might want to be a ninja warrior, but I don't have the will to do the training required.
