Somehow fitting, evolutionarily our brains are still designed to recognise danger in order to ensure our survival. This is precisely the problem of the present in social networks: so many supposed false dangers are created in social media that our Stone Age brain is completely overwhelmed by them when we give in to fear.

Fear turns off our minds and that's good for the culture of excitement to generate clicks.

At some point, our perception has nothing to do with reality.

We just briefly mention Springfield and the blunt lie that pets are food for American immigrants.

Unfiltered, unchecked and created for the sole purpose of generating fear and attention.

Just be a bit more than a stone-age brain!
