Ideology is what happens when a way of seeing the world becomes part of the world itself, shaping not only what we believe, but what becomes easier to believe next.
Tag: cultural attractors
Authenticity is not destroyed by media so much as converted into an interface problem: a carefully arranged background, a handful of familiar signals, and the strange little theatre by which the network teaches the self how to appear real.

Cognitive bandwidth becomes cultural destiny because the carrying capacity of technologically mediated communication systems exceeds the carrying capacity of the biological minds living inside them.
