Deleting Social Media

[TubularCorporation]

I can never track down the exact quote because I can't remember the precise wording or who said it, and 19th century European philosophy doesn't have the best SEO, but some famous old dude or other responding to Nietzsche wrote something along the lines of "I may know God is dead but what I'm afraid of is that God doesn't know He is dead" i.e. social context dictates the limits of self determination or something like that. The history of the marketing industry is about 120 years of dumping massive amounts of money and effort into convincing people otherwise, and then selling things to fill the void left between individualism and the real world.

 

None of this is big news.
