Warning, this story is really horrific and will be heartbreaking for any fans of his, but Neil Gaiman is a sadistic [not in the BDSM sense] sexual predator with a predilection for very young women.

      And then they tell you things that you were not there to witness. That is literally how communication works.

      You just seem to think that people you meet in real life are less likely to lie to you than people in an article that shows that a huge amount of research was done and I’m not sure why.

        In real life you can talk to people that you know and see things with your own eyes. This is better than essays written by anonymous people on the internet.

          And those people could be lying to you. Every single one of them. How do you know they aren’t? Why do you trust them?

              Social media is part of real life. Humans are not more honest just because you can look them in the eye.

                Actually they are more honest. It’s harder to lie. And easier to detect lies. And the repercussions for lying are greater. This makes for less lying.

                And that’s without bringing actual firsthand experience into the argument.

                No, social media is good for many things, but it is ultimately just a child’s cartoon. A ghostworld.

                  It’s harder to lie. And easier to detect lies.

                  That is an hilariously naïve thing to say.

                  Also, I have met many real friends over the internet who I have only interacted with over the internet. I have a friend in Turkey I have never met in person but we feel like family to each other.

                  Just because you can’t make personal connections here doesn’t mean no one can.

                    There is infinitely more to human interaction than a stream of symbols and images. Trust me on this.
