Yes, but it’s more than that. People themselves increasingly can only feel like they are thriving in a disembodied digital medium. The reality of their own bodies, of other people, of material circumstances of life are too complicated, scary and fraught. They declare war on their bodies, on social formations and on materiality because these are too hard to handle. Painful, grating, traumatic.
I’m sure that the SA government will be happy that our trend matches their idols in Cuba.
