The Pasho Perspective - The Social Dilemma and the War for Our Souls

The Social Dilemma is a film produced by Netflix in 2020. When I saw it, I was blown away by all of the information they provide regarding social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

I show it to my students as a supplement to Jordan Peterson's Rule 4: Compare Yourself to Who You Were Yesterday, Not to Who Someone else is today. Since kids are always comparing themselves to others online, I thought this would be a great way to convince them to stop (or at least reduce the amount of time spent on social media). Here's hoping it works!

In this episode I share my perspective about what they have to say. Enjoy and share!
