Think about how social media has shaped a culture of clones. Make up, body language and speech has been conformed to a 'norm'. Everyone is becoming the same.

It's not just in social media, it's a carefully constructed box in all aspects of life, even down to the speech that is deemed "safe." Your tone is great, I sense a rage against conformity that bubbles right under the surface. Safe art isn't art, you only learn boundaries and structure so you know where best to break them, you learn the lines to know where to cross them. That's real art. I like how you boil this down to the end as conforming being boring... as though, after all that anger, the thing we fear the most is being bored. I worry about that too, but also the fact that we seem to be losing our words for things, and when you can't describe it, a thing can't exist. Nice write.

Oh, what, girl? You are so right. Groupthink was always a problem in the analog world, but social media elevates it all the way to the hive mind. It kills me to think of everyone spending money they don’t have, no longer buying clothes but accumulating ‘costume’ for the gram. I was watching a show the other night that talked about exactly that.
Robotics as you say. Yes, yes.😍
Beautiful write!!!
