As if most people in general lacking the cognitive reach to even perceive their own ignorance wasn’t tiring enough, the natural consequence of the mass diffusion of instant communication and speech leads them to mistake familiarity for understanding and social media recognition for worth. Instead of interrogating their limitations, they pursue visibility, convinced that admiration confers significance. As a consequence, their interactions are performative, their words engineered for validation rather than insight; discourse is reduced to transaction and connection is reduced to spectacle. Thousands of “six of one, half a dozen of the other” micro-influencers fail because they mistake visibility for impact and social perception for reality. They turn themselves into products rather than individuals. Their relevance depends on algorithms and trends, making them easily replaceable. The more they shape their identity around engagement, the less control they have over it… ultimately becoming disposable in this attention economy. None of this validation is enduring or meaningful. It’s a loop of transient approval that reinforces their irrelevance. By choosing spectacle over self-awareness, they ensure that whatever semblance of depth they project is nothing more than an illusion… one that dissolves the moment it is examined. À la Simulacres et Simulation, my good Lord, I’m dreadfully bored… I’m lighting a metaphorical cigarette. Hey, for fucks sake, I might troll around and post another goddamn selfie.
