Didn't you use to be an artist in making complex things simple
This is the best thing I've read so far about this gruesomely fascinating topic. Heartfelt, and yet also deeply analytical. Beautifully written too.https://www.firstthings.com/article/2019/01/shame-storm …

I have a friend going through this, albeit on a smaller scale. Not sure the suffering is creating any sort of growth or change though; the author has a level of patience/meaning-making that I suspect far outstrips anyone I know.

To be fair, Helen Andrews has had eight years to process her experience, so maybe wait and see about your friend :)

Free market justice has the potential to be a very effective way for us to broadly enforce social norms w/o legislation. It is however, a very early market and still incredibly inefficient.

There is no broad consensus on norms; yet our for-profit communications tools demand scale, virality, reach. This imposition of a single, unified interaction system is unnatural and creates the fundamental tensions that arise as viral outrage & shaming.

The article lost me in the first two paragraphs. It says Gomeshi was never convicted, which is true, but it neglects to mention he only escaped conviction with a settlement in which HE ADMITTED WRONGDOING.

Mob mentality has never solved anything and it would be wonderful if we, as a society, would learn that, but I have my doubts.

@karaswisher that was indeed a great read. Very complex topic too. The online and questionably accurate "permanent record" is going to have very strange consequences for those born after Google.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Wonderful essay. I struggle with this bit, though. It feels like admitting defeat on making any moral progress as a society. Like, I would bet that sexual harassment goes permanently down in the post

The problem, of course, is determining what is just a "shame storm" and what is a valid critique.
