My suspicion is that the current reliance on artificial substitutes for genuine communication has left the first-world population feeling alienated and unfufilled in their basic human needs.

To put it another way:

Guy Debord posted:

In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.

The images detached from every aspect of life fuse in a common stream in which the unity of this life can no longer be reestablished. Reality considered partially unfolds, in its own general unity, as a pseudo-world apart, an object of mere contemplation. The specialization of images of the world is completed in the world of the autonomous image, where the liar has lied to himself. The spectacle in general, as the concrete inversion of life, is the autonomous movement of the non-living.

The spectacle presents itself simultaneously as all of society, as part of society, and as instrument of unification. As a part of society it is specifically the sector which concentrates all gazing and all consciousness. Due to the very fact that this sector is separate, it is the common ground of the deceived gaze and of false consciousness, and the unification it achieves is nothing but an official language of generalized separation.

Things are getting really strange to me also. It's kind of like everytthing is covered in velcro and everytthing just sticks to everything else? Has anyone else notticed this? Like you set down a coffee cup and it sticks to the ttable? My shoes have velcro and somettimes string sticks to them. I don't like itt. Kind of like in the Bars they've taken out the dartts and replaced them with pingpong velcro. And my beer sticks to my coastter?

I've been thinking about this for a couple days and I can definitely say shits getting weird. My roommate is in Haiti but he updates his facebook every five minutes to post memes. Shouldn't he be dancing voodoo dances and drinking gutrot in a village? Doesn't seem right...
