Yes, just like that. ​ You know it, but you never listen. ​ ​ Yes, just like that. ​ ​ ​ Just listen a story that told the great Isra Bravo in his newsletter a few days ago. ​ In a study, scientists asked people to look at random Instagram posts. ​ ​ Guess what happened? ​ Social media: destroying souls faster than fast food destroys arteries. ​ And here’s the kicker: ​ ​ No reality check.
