The Anomie Machine

Sitting in front of infinitely interchangeable and accessible screens, each of us stupidly needs to feel special, and will do what it takes.

Extrapolating from this engagingly written article, you could say that on the road to bad faith, there is anomie first.  In your isolation, you are left with the language cum simulation [e.g. Facebook, Instagram, etc] of intimacy as a means to experience intimacy.  Doesn’t work. You know this, but you desperately, compulsively repeat it without examining or admitting your discomfort.
