1. I didn't call her a bad person, I said her take was stupid and incoherent. Please don't put words in my mouth. 

More broadly: Yes, I do think social media will be the downfall of our society. But since almost everyone keeps at it no matter how lonely and angry anti-social media makes them, how rational can we really say we are, anyway?

Hmmm.  Pretty sure up above you said: "Proof that even a Stanford degree cannot inoculate one against stupidity."  But hey, at least she's not a bad person!

But I did chuckle at the Yoda reference.  And I think I agree that social media will be the downfall of civilized society (which is partly why I don't do facebook, instagram, or whatever else everyone else is doing these days . . . ).

P.S.  My main reaction to reading her IG post here:  I'm surprised mask wearing was not mandatory wherever it was she was shopping.  (The more I think about it, the more I think that can't be right . .  .can it?)  But if it truly was mask optional, then it's hard to get too down on her for (evidently, respectfully) declining to where a mask where that was a viable choice. 

Or stated differently:  if it was so obviously stupid and unsafe to NOT wear masks while shopping indoors, wouldn't that be a county or state (or store) mandate?  Strange . . .
