One of the main reasons why the population walks around alienated and distracted is that they confuse life on the internet with everyone's real life.
On the internet, everyone has the choice to show what they want, and to show a distorted reality of what they actually live.
That started in the mid 1990s and was when and why I dropped out of the social internet trends. Nostr has potential to right that but.....
But..? 🤔
Amongst other things, I fear the imbedded narcissism in our populations and what that implies as a successful "business model" are looking like they are here to stay.
I agree..
Let's see what the future has to offer us, and try to do our part in spreading the message
Authentic interaction without the celebrity "drop a wise saying and bask in the glory" model . How can the celebrities stop that and how can those who reward them stop that when it is actually a profitable structure?
I think that is a culture problem, social media only expand that..
Yes, it seems to expand it massively. As you pointed out we don't see the real life behind the internet facade so it's extra difficult to be able to spot the bullshit when we only "know" the person in the digital realm.
That is a thing that everyone should know
It's difficult though because so much of our lives in so many societies now involves that interaction with each other through the digital realm and the mobile phones' role in that interaction is pivotal. Add to that the real need to make a living/earn currency and the perfectly understandable desire, if the chance arises, to not end up in a dead end factory job and it's in some ways hard to fault those that get the opportunity to play a character in the cyber game.
