For the return of the sublime on the internet, less porn
Philosophical reflection criticizes excessive exposure and defends a return of the sublime in the face of vulgarity on the internet.

Infodemic is a disgrace attached to Covid-19. For the World Health Organization (WHO), ignorance about the use of vaccines can mean life or death.
But one can stretch the matter a little, because browsing the internet is like licking the floor of a purulent ICU.
Our rotten souls become a concern of social psychology, by which part of us can be classified as deceased. And who is vulnerable?
Next to Instagram, Xvideos is naive. I am in the middle of an embarrassing reading of the book “The Transparency Society” by philosopher Byung-Chul Han. At first, I thought that, from the title, it would lead me to back the banners of organized civil society regarding the publicity of public spending, or something along those lines. But no.
The author stays far from discussing politics directly, and makes me reflect on how shallow the images I access on digital networks are.
Let us remember it is a philosophical discussion. If everyone is transparent, then everyone is equal in being transparent. Exhibition is productification, the commodity is a human being.
Cleaning up the bubbles’ dirt
When I was recommended to watch the documentary “The Social Dilemma,” I felt terribly lazy. Everything I “have” to watch, that I “cannot miss,” is often a millennial-generation hyperbole for some random thing. Spud.
I wonder about the candor of those who did not see Google begin to draw the social bubbles when it started presenting different results for the same search terms. A less clumsy form of what would become Facebook’s algorithm — a kind of special American sauce whose recipe no one knows.
Without the insolence of a moral recommendation, but in a movement for the return of the sublime, I think we would be happier in 2021 without finding women on the internet trying cookie tea.
