Self-stimulation as the only remaining drive in the void of a grounded social and religious life. Yeah I can get a little grumpy seeing all the shabby windows into quotidian details myself. “No one cares” I think to myself several thousand times a day…
How much of the erotic urge is a necessity to unify with God, or to destroy the self? Hmm. Using technology also points at this discontent with one's self.
Basically, tech-generated onanism. The self pleasuring with itself, even if -virtually- there is the presence of others, they are just other shallow selves anyway, an infinite circlejerk.
It's observable here.. especially in the political oriented spheres, I wonder how the fuck will they change the world if their whole discussions break entirely the personal and public.
It's quite bizarre, "the personal is political" went way too far in the internet age. They charge personal choices with the moralism of politics mixed with the cultural and socially constructed ones. A mishmash! For the elusive "Party" program. The Party of Sisyphus.
You also see the sharing of familial life, goddammit, no one want to see your children (or the shit of your anal-hoarder character, understood psychoanalitically). Stop exposing them, for fucks sake.
No one want to know the book you are reading and the food you are consuming too.
The first part is a really good description of what St. Paul calls a Principality. At some point something powerfully demonic embodies a distinguishable thing, like digital technology, and in doing so gains attention and investment in masses of people, and the control it gains compels people to act towards it in a way that's really the same thing as worship, but without calling it worship. People are subjugated, and their reality is re-formed to be in service to the Principality.

I’m going to say it’s both, and yes, the tech usage is a way of managing, in a sense, profound discontent
jerking off our pocketcocks and waiting to die is what it looks like out there/here - a cause for celebation!
This one was tough.
