<p>I have been off of social media for a whopping two whole days, and it’s as if a veil has been lifted. If we think of what social media is, it is to participate in social networking. That means we are participating in a networking that does not truly exist in real time, but the past or someone else’s current present, but not necessarily our own present. It is designed by people who study how the human mind works to keep you on it for as long as possible, and it is a means of consumption; constant consumption. Where is the room to digest if we are all consuming? Where is the room to ask yourself in a sea of other who you are and how you feel? I ask these questions and more in this short 16 minute episode. </p>
