This "deeply reported" piece from WIRED is inexcusably bad. First, it is just wrong. Not nitpicky things, fundamentally false jabs and premises. Second, it completely ignores the stakes of supporting active troops to push r/antiwork softboy talking points. Examples below....

Key word here: correlates. TikTok usage likely also correlates with wearing baggy jeans. But there have been mountains of peer reviewed studies on social media's affect on mental health, and none have found any meaningful *causal* link. Great piece here:...
So @PBS and @NPR are your definition of “independent media?” Media bias is profoundly cultural and much of it would vanish if hundreds of alums of places like @Hillsdale College peopled U.S. newsrooms. @nickshirleyy is also showing what can be...
Like an appreciation of progress, reading and literacy are among the things that are good but cognitively unnatural. That is, they go against our evolved nature. We didn’t evolve with print; it was a recent invention. Reading, for many of...
