I’ve been thinking about this. And I think there is much about ourselves we don’t understand.
George Carlin said that the umbilical cord was ‘the first addiction,” teaching dependence. He also said that post-birth, we continue to seek out that sort of comfort, “and we wander around looking for something else to plug into.”
I don’t know about that but it does seem true.
You can check out TikTok and YouTube if you want verification. Attention is the goal. Even when seeking such attention is self-destructive.
I just read yesterday that it’s starting to happen. A couple of “kick streamers,” whatever that means, (define for me if you know) took their camera and ill intensions and accosted strangers in a public, target rich environment with epithets and threats and when the objects of their attacks objected, one of these alien-like streamers pulled a gun, while one of the attackers clamored for the gun-waving streamer to “Shoot her! shoot her!” Strictly for “views,” the new and dangerous drug.
Why IS that? What does it give the offenders? Does it quiet the fear of death or “not being seen or heard?” What does it comfort in them?
That time nobody died, but it would have taken but another moment or two for that to happen.
Most of us would see that as demented, but in the online world (and it IS a world, a culture) some loved it.
Why? We do love our demons.
