Social media has become as integrated and influential in our lives like newspapers and television and radio once were … they heavily regulated those media in the past, they should do the same for all social media everywhere now.

I think this is our great filter … the filter that won’t allow us to explore the universe beyond our planet. We’ll send up probes and robots into space but we’ll be too busy fighting the handful of men down here who want to try to rule the planet. And those handful of men will keep our world as miserable as possible in order to keep them wealthy and as powerful as possible. Once that group of men dies off, another group of men will take their place endlessly. And it will be that perpetual small group of men that will keep us confined to our current state of evolution and keep us all down on this planet.
As Carl Sagan put it in ‘A Pale Blue Dot’ …
“The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.”
