I see. People who cannot afford Internet are not real people. After all, they do not have a "number in some file somewhere."

- msla 4y agoYou're being disingenuous in order to prop up your political philosophy.
- nilmask 4y agoStop exercising your privilege to silence the marginalized voice of an ethnic minority.
- msla 4y agoAnd now you're simply posting in bad faith. Good job making philosophers look like nitwits, I suppose.
- nilmask 4y agoThe only one posting in bad faith is you. You have brought literally nothing substantive to the conversation - no citations, no rebuttals, no arguments, no positions. Allow me to recapitulate your position for you - you are categorically wrong, on all counts. Try getting an education to learn why.
- metacritic12 4y agoWhat I mean is that someone's online self is one projection of the self, and someone's offline self is another projection of the self. Neither is the "true real self", as suggested by some of the people you quoted. Basically, some of the philosophers you quoted suggest a dystopian progress by which we're getting more and more fake by putting on more layers (in person -> phone -> TV -> social media). I don't think this has to be the interpretation.
