@Daojoan That book and books like it actively make you dumber.

@spidercider @Daojoan Strange comment SpiderCider. So, you’ve either read Sapiens etc. and found they caused you to suffer a mental impairment, or you haven’t read them and are just throwing shade to sound cool. I have read Sapiens and Nexus. I found them entertaining, and thought provoking, even if far from perfect. Nexus was enlightening about safety issues with social media algorithms and the role of Facebook in a mass atrocity. I would like to think the knowledge imparted didn’t actively make me dumber, but who knows?

@mattjhayes @Daojoan the former. I deserve compensation.
