Robin Hanson, George Mason University economist, proposes integrating Christian principles of love and humility to fix social media

@robinhanson Christian norms of love, humility, and grace, are great fixes to any number of ills. Unfortunately they are rarely practiced.

@robinhanson Why don't you interact with some Christians on this site. They are among the most hateful people on earth. "Love and humility" are not the words that come to mind.

@robinhanson i think they're an early protocol upgrade to our old ass bioware.

@robinhanson based

@robinhanson If we applied the principles of the Sermon on the Mount we could see transformation in social media.

@robinhanson An observant follower of any faith would be duly horrified by what goes on around here

@robinhanson Yes.

@robinhanson In this context I think the term ‘charity’ is more appropriate than ‘love’.

@robinhanson I mean, the entirety of The Screwtape Letters could be rebooted to be a purely about social media; and it would involve minimal effort.
