Gold in the Mud / by Alexander Lyadov

The further we go, the more obvious it becomes how harmful social media is. Like strong alcohol, if there’s any benefit to it, it’s mainly for forgetting your problems for a while.

Content creators will do anything to grab attention—from staging mean provocations with strangers to outright distorting facts. Sadly, artificial intelligence has become gasoline for this fire.

But every phenomenon has a dual nature.

Even in muddy streams, you can find grains of gold. On Instagram, for instance, I sift through health insights, art, humor, and grappling techniques.

Here’s my current “catch of the day”:

The last creator constantly receives comments like: “I can’t get enough of these videos )),” “So refreshing,” and “bro is spreading happiness.” I can’t help but smile in anticipation whenever I see his latest “question.”

Remember that old debate about whether existence shapes consciousness or vice versa?

These creators prove that a lot depends on us, no matter how bleak, deceitful, or corrupt the environment may seem. There’s always a chance to teach, inspire, or make someone laugh.

These "little things" keep humanity from falling into the abyss.

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
