Of Two Minds

Turn the crank of social media / search (SM/S) and you get highly profitable Digital Addiction and social destabilization leading to disorder and breakdown.

By placing search/social media in the bucket of newspapers, radio and TV networks, perhaps we’ve obscured their true nature as “Digital Marketing Mechanisms.”

If you find my scribblings upsetting, there’s an easy solution: stop reading it. We’ll both benefit.

A social media company has the right to decline publishing my opinion, but the government’s ability to restrict what the social media company publishes is restricted by the First Amendment.

No wonder we’re restless, teetering on the edge, frustrated by our addictions to fakery and excess, starved for what cannot be marketed or made profitable, so it no longer exists except in the shadows.

The smart money is selling, of course, for the clanging indicators are the dinner bell announcing the banquet of consequences has been served, and Nemesis doesn’t want the meal to get cold.
