Russel Brand and Jordan Peterson, both themselves pretty inflammatory personages, discuss anger and love and freedom in the online Town Square, and how Elon Musk might constrain these online "demons spewing toxic waste into the landscape", now that he is running Twitter.
The problem is that online, there aren't the normal social controls that would mean if you said that kind of stuff down the pub you'd just get punched.
Instead, online, the "demonic force" gets millions of "likes", stirring up hatred; where what the world needs now is love, sweet love ... and some of Russel's "comedic criticism". (We should ask ourselves, "what would Christ do?", otherwise what is the point of Christianity?)
Social media needs a regulation that sets the right tone between acceptance and control, from a freedom-loving kind and compassionate starting point, and that comes from paying attention to the real needs of the audience.
What these two observe is that users split into two ossified camps: those who are real verified human beings; and then there are the anonymous demons - what's needed is some "cartilage" between them and this should be recognised in the platform interface. Isn't this what Musk is going to do anyway, I ask, with his Blue Tick at $8 a month?
Real people can visit the Demons' hell, but at least if this split can be embodied in the online interface, JoJo is warned before crossing the Styx that it may not be easy to get back, get back to where they once belonged.... especially if they've been to the Tavistock on the way.
Because Jordan, who is banned from Twitter, observes that there's a link between an adolescent girl's emotional disposition and her body image, and this can be the cause of great confusion in the girl's mind...as well as get you banned if you talk about it. What makes Jordan angry is that the Tavistock didn't understand this, with the result that thousands of young people's lives have been permanently damaged. Thankfully, that awful clinic is now shut, with 5% of its customers suing the doctors for medical malpractise.
It's not just girls that suffer from this intense confusion (me speaking now), but boys too, awash with testosterone this time, boys are also in a process of self-discovery. By the mid-20s, most girls and boys return to something like what their parents wanted for them, updated for today, so it is very very wrong to wield the knife or blocker drugs in this period of natural, if disturbing, transition.
More love and understanding, less anger and control from our leadership, that's what's needed.

Talking about social media
Oh my God… it is 2 side of knives right? It can be bad. It can be good. You use it for good cause? It is an effective tools. You use it for manipulation? It is an effective tools too.
Regulations? I have no idea. Can you regulate this freedom world?
Slander, defamation, lot and lot here…
Smartphone in the hand of not smart person ….
They don’t know is it right news or defamation…. They just swallow what their favourite person and their favourite public figure say.
Whatever they say…
It become “guidance”….
way of life
I don’t know
