I’m in Total Shock That He’s a Sociopath Because on Social Media He Has Such an Infectious Personality
We crave connection
Because we need it
But we are addicted to social media
Because it’s the last thing we need
Social media mediates attention
By giving to you immediately
All that is worth waiting for
And when you have enough of it
Which is never enough
You’ve gone viral
Getting attention not by contact with others–
Especially not by contact with the other–
But by becoming a virus
That spreads without contact
Because in person we connect with one another
While online we infect one another
Covid was a Trojan horse
But in this case
The enemy didn’t burst out of the Trojan horse;
They stayed inside
Preventing the spread of the virus
And going viral
To spread the real bioweapon–
Fear
