The point is to reduce these things, not eliminate them. Your cynicism is misguided given the very real example where this already worked.

ok. the urge to smoke cigarettes is not something all humans develop as they age, the way we develop the psychological need to “belong” and be popular with the in-crowd. but yea, keep thinking the solution to the cigarette problem will also be the solution to the 100% unrelated social problem

lol are you trying to say that the basic knowledge that humans (primates, really) don’t have an inherent urge to be included and well regarded by their peers is wrong? the perceived lack of which is causing all these social media problems in the first place? or are you just saying i’m wrong because i said something?
