    That’s the point. One can think what they want, decide and go there. Or one can just leave their home and walk with the crowd wherever it brings them. (A metaphor.)

    Social media make it appear like you could live a life like the latter. Doing all things you need. Just walk with the crowd and never decide.

    People are afraid of even the tiny bits of freedom, when they are looking at it from that human stream which never leaves them. They think that outside of it, if a decision they make is wrong, they are lost.

    It’s psychological, all of it, like a very subtle and less deadly slaughtering block.
