Have we abdicated our intellectual curiosity and drive for objective investigation and replaced these instead with a robotic fixation to "curate ourselves in front of finance capital"? How are we any different than children who sacrifice their mental health for a "selfie"? 2/2 @financialtimes.com

#Socrates was condemned for corrupting youth because, in his own words, he taught cultivation of the soul over the body and money. Martin Luther King, Jr. knew this, of course, hence his warning to America. There have been many warnings, like Whitman's on "decay of thought." #brainrot @ox.ac.uk 1/2
