A and of Going media psychoanalytic Postal: the drive social reading death

"If the punchy, claustrophobic anti-sociality of programs in the early lockdown proposed an especially dark perspective into the future, the Action for Black Lives road uprising of the late spring felt like their wondrous opposite—a future by which programs were giving an answer to and being structured by the activities on the floor, as opposed to these functions being organized by and formed to the requirements of the platforms. This was something value our time and devotion, something that surpassed our compulsion to publish, anything that—for a minute, at least—the Twittering Equipment couldn't swallow.

Perhaps not so it wasn't trying. As persons in the roads toppled statues and fought police, persons on the platforms adjusted and refashioned the uprising from a road action to a thing for the use and reflection of the Twittering Machine. The thing that was happening off-line needed to be accounted for, identified, evaluated, and processed. Didactic story-lectures and photos of effectively stored antiracist bookshelves seemed on Instagram. On Twitter, the usual pundits and pedants sprang up demanding explanations for every single motto and justifications for each action. In these matter trolls and answer men, Seymour's chronophage was literalized. The social market does not just eat our time with endless stimulus and algorithmic scrolling; it eats our time by making and selling those who exist and then be explained to, people to whom the world has been developed anew each morning, persons for whom every settled sociological, medical, and political controversy of modernity must be rehashed, rewritten, and re-accounted, this time using their participation.

These folks, using their just-asking questions and vapid open letters, are dullards and bores, pettifoggers and casuists, cowards and dissemblers, time-wasters of the worst sort. But Seymour's book suggests anything worse about people, their Twitter and Facebook interlocutors: That we need to spend our time. That, nevertheless significantly we may complain, we discover satisfaction in countless, rounded argument. That individuals get some type of achievement from tedious debates about "free speech" and "cancel culture." That we seek oblivion in discourse. In the machine-flow atemporality of social networking, that appears like number great crime. If time is an endless reference, you will want to invest a few decades of it with a couple New York Occasions op-ed columnists, repairing each of American thought from first principles? But political and economic and immunological crises pile on one another in series, over the backdrop roar of ecological collapse. Time isn't infinite. Nothing of us are able to afford to pay what's remaining of it dallying with the foolish and bland."
