Love this. It's so important to reflect on how we paint our reality and what makes us choose those strokes, so to speak. As someone who works in social media, I'm sure Debord would be horrified by my profession. It's difficult to reconcile my value for direct experiences and what I do for a living, which is promoting indirect contact to sell a product, no less. Seems like cognitive dissonance is at work here...I'll have to unpack that 😅 Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Idine!
Hi Tori :) For nearly all of us, that cognitive dissonance is inescapable as the direct/indirect mediated dynamic is our shared reality. It's baked in, so to speak - some of us may have to deal with it more actively such as yourself in your industry. I'm curious how you think it's impacted you? Thanks for sharing!
