Facebook - cornucopia of social escapism?

Why it is that people turn into narcissistic monkeys when let loose on this cornucopia of social escapism?

I've witnessed seemingly coherenent, intelligent persons turn into drooling idiots, hell-bent on gettin as many "friends" as possible on this "adult" version of the teen original. Now, this is clearly a primitive, atavistic urge. A crave for social recognition and status within a tribe.

The problem is, the effort you bring to this goal is real (i.e. wasting your time), but the reward is just virtual. But that's okay.. People don't like to live in REALITY(tm) anymore. It's so much easier to watch it from TV instead.
