Social Media allowed humanity to finally hear what humanity had to say.
We have been recoiling in horror ever since.
>”You and your children cannot breathe the air or swim in the waters of our culture without breathing in the toxic particulates and stinking effluvia that belch and pour unchecked from their companies into the currents of our world,” he said of the pair.
Fry always has a way with words. Not surprising for Mr. QI (or Jeeves, for that matter).
Ban. Social. Media. How. Is. It. So. Hard.
Amen .
Anyone remember Zuckerberg champion the end of privacy?
Not exactly a non-zombie.
Here we all are saying “end social media” on social media. Don’t get me wrong I think social media is bad for humanity just thought it was funny
“Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg and X owner Elon Musk are “the worst polluters in human history”, Stephen Fry has said.”
Musk can be criticized for many things, but he also basically pushed forward the transition towards EV by a decade or more, so if Musk doesn’t live up to the standards for trying to help deal with climate change, no one does
Edit – oh he’s just using an incredibly poor choice of analogy
Now a days is when we need Christopher hitchens and Stephen fry most
We kind of need the power to go out for a while.
Hear Hear!!?

Does anyone have video of the actual lecture?
Bah
Problems started much sooner than our present decade or the last
And as much as i might hate those 2, there are much worse

But the monetization of emotions like outrage and hatred are.
He isn’t wrong
Take a look at Stephen Fry’s twink and ask yourself who’s really polluting the culture
I read this title too quickly and immediately thought what did Stephen Fry do to pollute the culture
