Summary:
" (...) In '
Digital
Madness
,' Dr. Nicholas Kardaras reveals the toxic impact of
our
tech obsession and corrosive
social
media
, especially on teenagers and young adults. As we've become mad for
our
devices,
our
devices increasingly have been
driving
us mad.
Social
media
platforms -- Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, as well as Google's search algorithms -- are designed to create extremes of emotion, addictive dependency, and depression-inducing sedentary isolation. These platforms also shape the way we think and the way that we process information into beinary, black-and-white choices. Such polarized thinking is dangerous for politics and
our
society, and symptomatic of serious
mental
disorders. We've been manipulated and driven insane by a 'New Technocracy' of modern-day robber barons motivated by greed and hubris. But there is a solution. Dr. Kardaras explains
how
classical philosophy that encourage resilience, critical thinking, and the pursuit of genuine purpose in
our
lives can
restore
us to
sanity
. '
Digital
Madness
' reveals the toxic and addicting impact of Big Tech, and shows
how
to break free from it."--Jacket..
