There was a point in the last decade when the online universe — the one you’re in now, dear reader, as you peer through crusted specs through this frame into our fully tractable simulacrum — and the real universe diverged — “delaminated” — set off along their own independent, meandering trajectories ever since, finally lost contact and now bear absolutely no relation to each other. Meaning that what was a simulacrum increasingly no longer is. There is danger in confusing the two.
elemental manifestations: discourse online and discourse in real life are now different. Online discourse is deterministic, delineated, scaled, binary, digital, definitive, eliminative, final. In real life discourse is graduated, ambiguous, deprecated, provisional, malleable, nuanced.
