Media sociologist decoding outrage, cancel culture & online behavior. I study why the internet turns cruel! Maybe how we can design it better?

My big brother taught me the biggest lesson of this lifetime: the importance of falling in love with strangers.
Everything I am today comes from the moment those self-judging, worry-filled glasses shattered, allowing me to see clearly for the first time

What I know now, though, is that my actual superpower was the gift that I ignored for far too long,
that Michael was teaching me all along.
To let go and to be kind.
We can all learn from Michael’s #Philosophy:

I’m up at night scrolling… and I feel disgusted.
Not at one side. Not at one party.
At us.
The fighting. The cruelty. The comment sections defending obvious harm.
And I sit there thinking…
How are we this disconnected from each other?

Why do we apologize?
When do we expect and accept apologies?
What makes an apology a good one, and what makes a public apology a worthy one?

I have my suspicions… from someone who has their masters in digital media sociology
But I want to hear from other people!

The emotional turmoil of feeling the need to do more, be better, or change ourselves in some way can lead us to do the most human thing possible: seek out others.

In moments of crisis, conflict, isolation, or even celebration, people want others. Speaking in a literal sense, physically, we aren’t constantly falling. But emotionally, perhaps the beauty of humankind is that we endlessly feel as if we need to reach for more.

Tell me.
The leader who only asks, ‘Why not me?’
Or the leader who leaps back & forth in unknowingness?
The leader who sees others. The individual who takes their actions and self into consideration. The one who sighs deeply and slumps down, wondering if they are enough to be a representative?
