Last episode, I focused on online dating to consider how we’re becoming increasingly accustomed to a version of presence that is so half-assed it might as well be absence. I’m enjoying being off the apps, by the way.
A feature of the internet we’ve long metabolized is how it facilitates identity doubling. The fact that we have online versions of ourselves is a splintering that’s easy to forget. We are at ease expressing ourselves, to ourselves and to others, in the forms and flavours of someone else’s design; and we have become immersed so deeply in a system and its symbols, we’ve internalized its language as our own.
