The Reasons are Two

Q : 
Is there a principle reason why 
I should delete my Social Media -- and if so, What is it?

A :
There are Two -
One of them is for 
Your Own Good
And The Other is for 
Society's Good.


Jaron Lanier, the Silicone Valley ‘computer philosopher', thinks social media is ruining your life.


In this interview Jaron Lanier talks about Facebook, YouTube, Google and how the tech and social media giants are using algorithms to record data about their users - and how internet algorithms shape how we see The World and what we’re shown online.

Superman talks to Jor-El 
Superman (3 Hour TV Version)

Jor-El : [in the Fortress of Solitude]  
You... enjoyed it.

Superman : 
I don't know what to say, Father. 
I'm afraid I just got carried away.

Jor-El : 
I anticipated this, my son. I...

Superman : [surprised]  
You couldn't have! 
You couldn't have imagined...

Jor-El : 
...How good it felt.

[Clark nods] 

Jor-El : 
You are revealed to The World. Very well, so be it. 
But you must still keep your secret identity.

Superman : 
But why?

Jor-El : 
The Reasons are Two :
First, you cannot serve humanity twenty-eight hours a day.

Superman : 
Er, twenty-four.

Jor-El : 
Or, twenty-four, as it is in Earth time. 

Your help would be called for endlessly
even for those problems which human beings could solve themselves

It is their habit to abuse their resources in such a way.

Superman : 
And, secondly?

Jor-El :
 Secondly
Your Enemies will discover their only way to Hurt You : 
By Hurting The People You Care For.

Superman : 
Thank you, Father.

Jor-El : 
Lastly... 

Do not punish yourself for your feelings of Vanity. 

Simply learn to control them. 
It is an affliction common to all, even on Krypton. 

Our Destruction could have been avoided 
had it not been for the Vanity of some who considered us indestructible

Were it not for Vanity, why... at this very moment...

[sadly

I could embrace you in my arms. My Son.

The Graduate and The Anti-Graduate




Dustin Hoffman is Underwater.

Why is he underwater..?

Because he is drowning.

Why is he drowning...?

He has been caught in a Flood - a major deluge of epic, perhaps even global proportions, at least from his perspective at any rate.

He is a Plaything.


Clark Kellogg:
 You had a choice - not to turn me in. 

Dwight Armstrong, Clark's Step-father:
If it was Your Son, you would have... 


Clark Kellogg: 
If it was My Son, I would have treated him like he was My Son. 

If he was my step son, I would have treated him like My Son. 

Dwight Armstrong, Clark's Step-father: 
Clark, that animal... 

Clark Kellogg: 
Dwight, good night.
