- nopassrecover 8y agoWhile he’s far from my favourite philosopher, there’s a similarity between this article and Sartre’s discussion of Bad Faith (itself similar to Marx’s alienation) as both discuss the societal pressure to conform to roles and the conflict inherent in attempting to do so. As the article observes, the liberty of expression offered by social media may itself compromise our individuality and authenticity by pressuring us to stage-manage an image of ourselves compatible with societal norms: an image that we aspire to but can never fully realise. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_faith_(existentialism) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_faith_(existentialism) http://existentialcomics.com/comic/101 http://existentialcomics.com/comic/101
