Social
media extremism is the result of aggregation of many factors embedded as part of our lives.
1. What
about paid MSM extremism before and
after advent of social media.
2. This
debate itself is because biased and paid MSM feels unsettled by social media. [SM]
3. Confirmation
bias promoting, opinion and judgment
peddling are no more sole preserve of MSM.
4.
Everyone can express what touches the heart, triggers the adrenal or tosses the mind or
makes one feel that it can be good for humanity.
5. MSM
alone has no exclusive copy rights for
social engineering anymore.
6. It
is an age of missiles of multiple
mindsets and aspirations and myriad
perspectives and perceptions where moderation
is marginalized and aggression is adored.
7. Social
media’s popularity itself stems from some of the above and besides, of
course, the usual human attributes of attention seeking, gossiping, rumor
mongering and impulse to communicate and share.
8. In
these processes SM has taught Newton's 3rd Law of motion to MSM.
9. If
people want only palatable sermons plenty of scriptures out there, literature
and life are lively because of stories and experiences.
10.Avoid
attempts at homogenization and control of opinions and aspirations. It
has failed everywhere starting from craze of Roman Empire to Nazism to
Stalinism even in limited geographical area because nature is variety.
11.Life
goes through its own churning process and evolution plays its part in all
spheres unmindful of lofty preachers or news and nuisance peddlers.
12.Sense
of balance must prevail over emotionalism. It would be nice if
everyone and everything also evolve
along with awareness of these inevitable facts.
13.Science
and technology must be used as a medium for this along with providing physical
and mental comforts.
14.Religions
must emphasis utility to life rather than parading and taking pride in number
of adherents or superiority of cult like following.
15.Economies
must ensure better and happier life for maximum number with collective
participation of all while ensuring minimum damage to environment.
16.Nations
and politicians must realize that humanity is better served if it functions as a global unit devoid of
specific real estate veneration, refrain from interfering in others affairs,
avoid hysteric reactions to historic blunders etc.
17.So,
social media extremism or exchange of ideas, ideologies and information
and so on go to reflect all the sensitivities of identities which are
prevalent in the society, which resists unity amid variety.
