I recently attended this discussion (posted below), which was brilliantly moderated by #emmalembke, between #jonathanhaidt and #scottgalloway. And I have to say, it almost immediately changed my online behaviour and perhaps my life. #jonathanhaidt's book, #TheAnxiousGeneration explores the destructive impact social media has had on the generation of kids born after 1996. @profgalloway called Haidt "the most influential scholar in the world right now." As they were all speaking of the ills, dangers and addictive nature of social media, I realized that at my core I'm really a 17yr old. And that I was in as much trouble as every other GenZ. My addiction to instagram (mainly) was at an all time high. I mean I was glued. Fascinated by every poet, designer, recipe, lifecoach, exotic vacation, dance, dog, cat, popstar, fashion, restaurant, actor, you name it I followed it. It's safe to say, I was very diligently following 1600+ accounts. My addiction had become so bad that I was actually commenting on stranger's posts. If Kendal Jenner was on a horse in Brazil at Diplo's estate, I had something to say about it. I had opinions to share on wars, cryto bros, DJ's to divas, bullshit to bullshit and more bullshit. So many opinions to voice, new "friends" to make, likes to give. I seldom looked up. My time was being sucked away and I was aging fast. A young actor friend had even created an impression of me on my phone that brought the house down. I had become a meme. I was having eye strain, headaches, and no kidding, was suffering from iPhone elbow. (It's a thing. Google it. Much like Tennis elbow but without the càche.) And then Jonathan made the point that hit home. He said, addicts, after hours and hours on social media, could not answer the question, "What memory do you have of that time ?" Oh my God. I was filling my brain with so much nothing, retaining nothing and generally feeling nothing. I had literally nothing to show for all the time I was gifting #Zuckerberg. Not even one pleasant memory. And so I came home and deleted facebook, tiktok and deactivated my instagram. I went cold friggin turkey. And it was ducking difficult. All I had left was The New York Times games - Connections, Wordle and The Mini Crossword. And cruelly once you do all three, you have to wait 24hours to do em again. It got so bad that I found myself commenting on people's VENMO payments to other people. (You can actually do that. Ridic, I know. ) Withdrawal is never pretty. It's now been a full week. The good news is I am feeling liberated. I'm not suffering from FOMO, and it's really not as scary as I thought it would be. But if you were wondering why I'm suddenly writing lengthy pieces on LinkedIn, it's not because I just started a company called LBRBCOLLECTIVE, or that I'm a wannabe "thought leader", it's just that this is the only social platform I have left, and I need a fix.

Last week, I was given the opportunity through the Sustainable Media Center to interview Jonathan Haidt and @profgalloway about my generation's relationship with technology, as detailed in Jonathan's book "The Anxious Generation". We explored many critical topics, such as the "Why" behind the book, the proliferation of antagonism online, Big Tech's role in fueling and solving our digital dilemma, and much more. Listen to the full conversation below! https://lnkd.in/e2GDf-rq

Founder at civ.works, democracy, justice, equality, climate, innovation, author, public speaking, science, facts, and evidence.
So yes, it's been a busy couple of days. #democracy #justice #equality #climate #politics Recorded my monthly analysis on Hudson River Radio's Many Shades of Green with Maxine Margo and Malcolm Burman. Always good radically subversive fun. In this podcast we talked about how the New York Times, Washington Post and other major media outlets trivialized the State of NY case against Donald Trump, we talked about the rapid acceleration of climate change causing more frequent and extreme weather events -and how right-wing controlled governments continue to delay and obstruct climate action, and more. Then an article about the fact that twelve New Yorkers have more courage than an entire major political party in the United States Friday is upon us.

Americans want to see people from their communities at the center of the policymaking process—but elected officials across the country often lack lived experience with the issues they legislate on. Next100 counters that by putting the people most directly impacted by policy in the driver’s seat: providing training and support to help emerging leaders translate their lived experiences into tangible policy change. Really excited to embark on these next two years with Derrell Frazier, Cheyanne Deopersaud, Sofie Fashana, Rudrani Ghosh, and Nia Johnson!! Go follow their pages as well for policy ranging from labor policy and rights to better conditions and rights for those in the foster care system. #changemakers #changeisgood #policychange #policymakers #youthempowerment #youthdevelopment
Today is the day! We're absolutely thrilled to announce the arrival of Next100's latest cohort. From addressing climate change and criminal justice to tackling housing reform and growing worker power, our new cohort members will spend the next two years living in New York, conducting original research and policy development directly informed by the lived experiences of impacted communities. Please join us in welcoming kier blake, Cheyanne Deopersaud, Derrell Frazier, Nia Johnson, Rudrani Ghosh, and Sofie Fashana to Next100. Meet each PE and learn about their issue areas here ↪️ https://bit.ly/48yMiKC

✨ I help non-profits & purpose-driven organizations increase their media coverage by 300%, to lead to greater donations. 👩🏾💻
Technology should be for the benefit of all. How can newsrooms make sure they don't leave rural areas out of the conversation? Media coverage of technological innovation tends to prioritize urban centers and neglect rural communities. 💡 For my weekly media bulletin with stats, insights, & video essays: https://lnkd.in/gfH6BEm5
