This isn’t a newfound Nobel prize worthy idea I’m just waxing poetics at 1AM lmao. Nevertheless…! I think the biggest problem, which is going to get way worse - Is that everyone has personalized algorithms on their mobile devices so there’s such a lack of shared cultural information and knowledge. It’s hard for a culture to embrace a shared meaning and purpose when everyone is fundamentally living in different realities. Screw some of the challenges of multiculturalism - We live in a social world of multi realities LMAO 💀 There has to be a social psychology term for this, I wish I knew it. Something like “the fracturing of the social psyche.” Nevertheless- The effects of seemingly living in our own personalized world has had extreme effects on feeding the culture war, most seen in the political state of America. Whereas I would be v interested in other effects it has had on society and the psyche. Malcom Gladwell and his hair dew recently drew on this idea in an episode on Theo Von’s podcast. Describing how on the day after the season finale of Seinfeld, the soul of New York had a really weird energy to it, a sort of collective malaise. Or as I would describe it with a little more vulgarity - The morning after an evening of many cultural orgasms with a traveler that had to go back home haha. Hopefully that last thought made this a little more worth reading 🤓🤓🤓
