Original Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7BQaQE_Jn8 The recurring image of the mass shooter is a symptom of celebrity culture, where our attention, rather than being taken by our transcendent purpose and common identity is rather tyrannized by a succession of excesses.

I'd like to welcome you to the Symbolic World podcast. On this episode, I will be playing for you

0:05.1

back to back two videos that I made that are talking about the same subject in a different

0:10.8

guys, you could say. One was about Twitter and the reign of chaos, and the other was about mass

0:17.2

shooters. And what I'm looking at is how chaos doesn't manifest itself so much.

0:23.3

At least often, it doesn't manifest itself as a kind of mush, you would say.

0:28.2

You know, that as the things decompose, what happens is what you get is many tyrannies.

0:33.6

You have little points of attention that try to grab all your attention and do it in a way

So I want to remind you that everything I'm doing, all these videos, the podcast,
