Can one person make a difference?
-
Do you think one person can really make a difference? What does it take to see change within a community, country, and the world?
-
@TheGoldenMole I believe yes. :)
In a community like this, I tried to make a difference in posting wholesome topics and posts. I don't make enemies here and I think that creates a different perspective of this site. :) -
His mere mention should suffice as the answer to your question. He maybe a work of fiction, but he has still inspired many people towards the path of righteousness. Atleast he has done that to me. And even making one person follow the right path is worth the effort.

@DIV Do you ever try to make a change?
-
@Wolfie_11 So do you think a single person trying to make a change is worth it even if their change takes a small effect?

OOHHHH WHAT AN INSPIRTATION, THATS SO GOOD MAN! WE NEED MORE LIKE YOU!

@TheGoldenMole
OFCOURSE. -
Maybe by inventing something revolutionary
-
Yes and no.
In order to make a difference you need to have some sort of impact, either by creating or making something revolutionary or by moving heaps of people.
I'll give a simple example. Flappy bird... You prolly heard about that game, it went viral out of nowhere, so viral the app had to be put down due to server stress! What caused this app to get a boom? You got it right a SINGLE PERSON. Pewdiepie made a video of him playing that game and he's the kind of person that can move tons of people... Now let's take the exact same example but instead of being Pewdiepie making the video it would be a no name youtuber, would it have the same impact? I think we all know the answer :shrug: -
@Lurker I thought they took the game down because someone got killed over it?? A no name person, but their death was enough to take down the game. Maybe a faceless person can make a change after all

"In an exclusive interview with Forbes, Flappy Bird developer Dong Nguyen has revealed the real reason he removed the extremely popular app from the App Store and the Google Play Store. According to Nguyen, the game's addictiveness is what convinced him to remove it, and the app is not coming back."
It only got addicting cuz Pewdiepie made it popular :shrug:
-
The real question if that change can be sustained.

If you think Pewdiepie is the only reason it is popular then you are ridiculous, especially since you just claimed that he's the reason they took it down. I think being popular and addicting are two different things. I think what he meant by addictive is that people were killing over it. That's addiction. Not popularity.

@Barton With the proper laws, yes

The game was not popular before he played it :shrug:
And you are right, a game that is addicting isn't always popular, but ppl were killing for it cuz they wanted to play it, they wouldn't want to play it if it wasn't known, right? -
@TheGoldenMole There are enough laws already. Enforcing it properly is the challenge.

That is absolutely false 😂 he played it because it was popular. He didn't make it popular himself. It was well popular before him. Sure, he probably added to its popularity, but it was definitely popular before him.
And you are right, a game that is addicting isn't always popular, but ppl were killing for it cuz they wanted to play it,
They were killing because they wanted to have a higher score. It wasn't about wanting to play, it was about wanting to be the best.
they wouldn't want to play it if it wasn't known, right?
Yes, they would, that's what addiction is.
-
@Barton I agree, but do you think one person is enough to put enforces and laws into place?
-
@TheGoldenMole Well no. They can only start something, plant an idea, kindle a fire. It is upto the rest of us to carry that baton and to develop it into something meaningful.
