Zucherberg's Plan

Not many people seem to remember that Mark Zuckerberg's original idea for Facebook was a way to scope college girls.  Ewwwwww!!!  Male chauvinist piggy.  His idea was born from the adolescent desire for male/female interaction.  Interaction?  Romance?  Sex?  Marriage?  It was simplistic, not simple.  Facebook has turned into much more, but at its core it was the idea of a college technology student on how to get chicks.  My Friend List in no way whatsoever resembles such a thing.  I limit my Friends to those who post things worth reading or are entertaining.  Recipes always are appreciated.  Jokes, although non-existent, would be welcomed.  Instead we have inane stream-of-consciousness, political rancor, or family reflections.  I hide the inciting political rhetoric, copy the recipes, and otherwise scan my newsfeed for what always is disappointing.  Only the posts I create satisfy any need I have.  I guess it is silly to seek any gratification from FB, but its users do.  It is a modern kind of immediate gratification, posting photos and videos of your experiences, to be viewed online.  FB has taken the place of real human interaction, and yet that not was the goal.  The goal was to use the website as a dating service, or else as a rather creepy voyeuristic fix.  It has turned into something else, and it began with an algorithm which cleverly connected you with lost high school peers.  To begin with it was powerful seeing people with which you had lost touch.  Thumbing through your pseudo-yearbook online was visceral and rewarding.  Then most of us realized that the relationships we had with these peers of the past had not changed.  We still were close to people with which we were close, and we still maintained animosities and feuds with those we didn't like.  Over the years nothing changed.  With the exception of a few outstanding scholars, that has been true for me.  Over time I realized I had no desire to relive my past.  Somehow through the grace of God we feel compelled to give it another go.  I have worked hard to heal my scars, although their source still exists.  Revisiting the past only opens these wounds, something no human deserves.  If it has taken three decades to heal from strife, rejuvenate, and reinvent one's self, no man deserves that challenge again.  This is what FB makes possible.  A cyber-relationship not based in reality, in humanity, and in personal physical relationships cannot be a good idea.  It is an experience laden with mines, and although gaining superficial gratification from the intimacy of a computer screen has grown epidemic, it is not healthy.  One only has to browse the website Chaturbate to realize Sodom and Gomorrah has been resurrected on the internet.  How can anyone qualify the existence of free, live, webcam sex shows?  Once such a thing cost money.  If it was needed and had value, those desiring its services would pay a fair price to purchase the product.  The internet has undermined the value of so many things once that played vital roles in the lives of human beings.  The adult film industry is one.  While we all may not agree with it, as free Americans we were afforded the right to choose to engage.  This kind of freedom was a cornerstone in the forging of America, and Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner were its pioneers.  These types of freedoms, those which smart the values of conservative prudes, have become less.  America has been on the wrong sociological journey since W. was in the White House, since Roger Ayers created Fox News, and since modern American media was bundled and purchased as a manipulative propagandist construct.  Our freedoms have dwindled and with them the value of many vocations.  Human services no longer are valued by American business and government, and anything and everything associated with human need is being slipped under the rug.  Truly we are a brainwashed society let by a force of naive, affluent, children with no respect for the history of America and for which she stands.  I always have enjoyed FB, but it is becoming a nuisance.  I can find no other source of enlightenment on the web.  I continue to read news on differing sites, and it is trivial and tabloid.  No effort is made to state the truth.  Without God, where is America to land?
