Are people on the internet even worth paying attention too ?

[Massimo2002]

Here is a question for today if fact I would stretch this further and say are most people in real life even worth paying attention to ? Because to me it seems like humans Excel at being around eachother but yet ignoring eachother why don't humans just kill and attack strangers like animals ?

It's because we're inherently social creatures. Even the most anti-social people out there are still putting their thoughts and pieces of themselves out there online. Ironic, isn't it?

 

[JustGeorge]

Yeah, definitely. Its people on the internet that keep me going, quite frankly.

Like anyplace, there are positive and negative people. Some places are cesspits such as "X" and some have quite a few decent people like RF.

Most of the "people" on Twitter/X are fake accounts, bots. It's really ridiculous. It's actually always been like that and Elon has nothing to stop it. I think he made it worse, actually.

In my experience, one gets out social interaction what one puts into it. The majority of people, when approached in a friendly and positive fashion, will reciprocate what you give them.

I've learned over my years to enjoy these people and leave the toxic one's alone.

That is what that is. I struggle more with how not to be one myself. Not that I always manage that.

I can spell anything.

Ask me to spell something.

why don't humans just kill and attack strangers like animals

Some do. Most of us would rather cooperate or associate with one another. Even when our opinions and beliefs may be at odds. Survival instinct probably.

Plus or negative, the folk we encounter on the internet (and in real time) keep us motivated. Some comfort us. Some annoy us. Some entertain. Some just tick us the heck off. I think we need it. We kinda crave it. Most are then worth it.

It depends. Some people might be interesting enough to pay attention to, whether online or in real life. People don't just attack and kill strangers because they also have to pay attention to the law.

I've found that you get what you give. Those i communicate with (including you on occasion) are worth it to me. There are others ... Not so much.

For one, we are mostly human, though i do have doubts about some people.

And two, most animals seem to be live and let live, though once again there are others... Example, the honey badger. Total headcase, will kill anything if there is a meal in it

The question for today is: "Are people on the Internet even worth paying attention to?" ??

If that's the question, my answer is: absolutely, as long as the content is interpreted in its context.

I'm kinda partial to idiots, buddy.

Are we still idiots if we appreciate it?

I'd say it'd depend on the idiot.
