What Can Ya Do

I'm stuck in a series of endless loops trying to anticipate how other people will react. An endless attempt at prophet, trying to piece together a concept that was shattered years ago. The concept of social interaction. I'm trying to rebuild a model of the social world but it doesn't work like it used to.

It is hard to tell whether my own faculties are fragmented, or the conventional social order itself is fragmented. Or both.

Some thinkers talk about the atomization of society into individuals. How men are becoming unique islands only able to interact by improvised procedures. How the individual itself is fragmenting further. Are we learning to stick together by weaving technology between us? I suppose we do feel more comfortable with pixels in front of us.

I wonder if these trends really are symptoms of a collapsing civilization. Even if it were the worst case scenario, destruction can be as beautiful as creation, as much as we hate to admit it. After all, isn't destruction the birth of the tragedy?

How would a song like that go?

"The world is terrible and that's aaaaaaaalriiiiight." Something like that.
