Yet another brightly lit signpost along the technological autobahn heralding western civilization's further slipping into the history books as a once great, but all-too-fleeting, society. And just like Bugsy Siegel, who'd foreseen an easy way to milk every last penny from inveterate gamblers, China knows that the American -- especially its youths' -- appetite for that repeated dopamine/seratonin rush is boundary free. Pair that with those who now freely self-identify on these platforms as having the untapped potential of "low-information voter" and we see the makings of a true zombie apocalypse - a mass sleeper cell of disinformed, angry-for-all-the-wrong-reasons January 6th-like mob froth fest goaded on by Beijing to finally break out all those loaded high capacity magazines they've been hoarding for all these years.

Jon,

Well now that you've put it that way I see what I've been missing.

Beautiful job of stating the problem and setting the intention.

But what are the steps to take on this stairway to heaven?
