    I had my own son radicalized by Tik Tok’s algorithms. With some parental guidance he managed to “break loose”, but no, there was nothing wrong or fleeting with his views before that happened imho.

    Extremely scary to watch.

      Add to that radicalization pipeline bit the fact that obscene wealth like what Notch came into tends to be extremely socially isolating and directly causes people to lose touch with reality. Not to be like “oh the poor billionaires,” but having that kind of money literally causes mental illness. For their own good, no one should be allowed to have that kind of money.

        He’s autistic (level 2) so logic works if expressed clearly showing him that the ones he were influenced by weren’t being honest/truthful. Also, still young enough to listen to his parents.
