But for all its promise, most people end up in a political, religious, and social “echo chamber” within these platforms. How much of this is just human tribalism, versus an intentional engineering of the platforms themselves to segregate people this way?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma282 views0 answers0 votesInternet “memes” are one picture depictions of an issue or topic that is often comical, ironic, or even condescending and demeaning. Often used as a form of creative rebellion or opposition to an opponent, or position, it was stated recently in the article, How Donald Trump Won the 2016 Meme Wars, “Creators of these memes act as self-appointed cultural gatekeepers.” Some credit Trump supporters’ mastery of the social media meme as perhaps an important key in his winning in 2016. What is Creator’s perspective on the power and influence of memes?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma295 views0 answers0 votesSocial forum platforms like Facebook, seem to have such incredible promise as an electronic “public square” where everybody can participate, where people can debate issues, present supporting data and evidence easily, and enable everybody to become more informed at a deep level about all the myriad things impacting their lives. But the reality is, it seems very few actually want to engage at a deeply thoughtful level, and instead use the platform simply for reinforcing their already entrenched beliefs, and attacking and ridiculing anyone who tries to challenge them. Can Creator share why this ideal of an electronic public square, has so fallen short?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma293 views0 answers0 votesIn a recent online discussion, the poster of an article on a very contentious topic enjoyed an avalanche of likes and supportive comments from friends and family members of similar persuasion. But one family member tried to help soften the collective view of the opposition as everything from crazy and stupid, to downright evil. After challenging this consensus on point after point, and using evidence and scientific findings not in alignment with the embraced narrative, the creator of the thread said this, “Please don’t argue on my Facebook page. I don’t go on your page and denigrate your posts.” Can Creator comment on why so many people see a highly contentious topic thread they create as somehow equivalent to a holiday party in their backyard, with the unspoken rule that you “never criticize the host?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma307 views0 answers0 votesSocial media “trolls” and bullies are truly an epidemic. Often these are people who would never be so bold and derogatory in person. It seems every echo chamber has its self appointed “bouncer” who sees it as their job to drive away anyone who brings a dissenting opinion. Rather than engaging in a thoughtful discussion of any kind, they “go for the jugular” and call the opponent every name in the book. No amount of character assassination is too much, and even family members sit back and sometimes even cheer on the “bouncer” as they ravage a family member—something they would probably not be a party to in person. This from people who fancy themselves as highly opposed to any kind of overt bullying. Can Creator comment on this apparent hypocrisy?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma360 views0 answers0 votesSocial media has seemingly given birth to “virtue signaling.” A means by which you signal your membership with a group of people who supposedly espouse the same values by posting approved content, liking approved content, and defending approved content. Rather than a means by which greater diversity of thought can blossom, virtue signaling becomes a means by which you tow the social media party line. What is Creator’s view of virtue signaling?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma313 views0 answers0 votes“Cancel culture” has really become a serious problem, with the potential for severe, even grave repercussions for people who fall victim. Social media has seemingly enabled and fueled this trend, making it easier than ever before for a snitch to adversely alter the lives of the ideological opposition. Can Creator comment on the danger that cancel culture presents?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma324 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share how the misuse of social media can create negative karma, and how the Lightworker Healing Protocol can both heal and protect individuals from the ravages and negative impact of social media?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma309 views0 answers0 votesAs social beings, humans seem to have a built-in need for companionship and fraternity. Yet, satisfying this need seems to be more than many people can accomplish.

What is the divine perspective on this form of treatment?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society312 views0 answers0 votesThere can be different kinds of loneliness. No matter how good marriage is, for instance, most men still want to spend quality time with their buddies on occasion and can become quite restless if this is denied for too long. Or the woman who adores children, but needs time with adults too, or she will begin to stress out. Humans seem to need real variety in order to have lives of high satisfaction.
