Even the most terrifying hell, can be called home, if you are comfortable living in. The struggle is to be confined in too poky places or abandoned in too large ones. If you can say that the world is your home, then you’re fine.
It’s sometimes tricky to define the world we are living in. We inhabit a physical world and we manipulate a meaningful universe (and of course meanings are not “things”). A good and simple way to say it, could be: our bodies live in our stories. We are constantly plugged in our stories, the community of our tales.
In the digital environment you’re plugged in a virtual universe. In social media, you’re plugged in a very rich, wide and empty environment. Virtual communities are niches. In contrast social media universe are huge, vast, enormous. You’re not just plugged in, you’re extended. The stories you expose, inhabits an environment that re-design yourself. You can reach more places, people and ideas. It’s not the availability of information, that’s just the web. In social media you’ve at hand the process of people thinking, you touch ideas, you stretch out your thoughts, and your mind lengthens. Did we become more intelligent? NO, it’s different. You found a new place, so rich, so stimulating. But it’s also mostly empty. You explore a lot, you talk a lot, before finding. You meet others through your stories.
Today you move nimbly in this new environment; you and your potential are huge; you locate your mates from great distance. Moreover you’re intelligent and you’re a mammal.
