    its how you use it and not the tools problem unless its specifically made for doing an evil thing like the evilinator or somethin

    Okay, but hypothetically speaking, what if internet applications were designed to be addictive?

    Hell, what if highly functional tools were deliberately degraded as a means of increasing monetized interactions?

    being a neuroscientist doesn’t instantly make anyone right

    Constantly telling my doctor this, whenever she provides me with medical advice on my splitting headaches and nose bleeds.

      You know thats not what I meant .

      Okay, but hypothetically speaking, what if internet applications were designed to be addictive?

      The evilinator thing was a phineas and ferb reference .
