Season 2 Episode 9
The conversation between Oak and Justin McSweeny explores the concept of the profilic self, which is the self that is generated, projected and curated on social media platforms by each user. It is a fabricated version of authenticity shaped by the technology and software intersecting with our innate psychology.
They delve into the distinction between the profilic self and the authentic self, highlighting the potential dangers to mental health and to society of conflating the two. The discussion also touches on the impact of social media on identity formation and the challenges of communication in the digital age. The second half of the conversation focuses on cultivating wisdom in the age of information and the need to balance individualism with meaningful character development. It emphasizes the importance of approaching wisdom with humility and recognizing our relational nature with the living world.
