It keeps coming up because I believe media is a self-fulfilling prophecy for civilization. As much as we keep being reminded of this truth, we are also SOLD the idea of competing by consumption and status. Social media breeds this mentality more and more while also making the world more connected. There is a lot of cognitive dissonance happening on a global scale like never before right now.
