      Cable news, the Internet and social media act as very effective terror magnifiers. So how does one live in a time of mass public attacks? Read more here: https://worldview.stratfor.com/article/living-time-twitter-and-mass-murder-us … 4/4

      When I used to teach sociology, I'd start with the so-called Thomas principle: "If people define situations as real, they are real in their consequences." Our perception is created in new ways. That's why we must worry about the public sphere, and why the digital shift matters.

          This is a variation on old thaumaturgic maxim 'The Name is the Thing". I'm beginning to toy with the idea that social media amplification is the current iteration of Gnosticism. Hitting the Like button, in this view, might equate to chanting an apotropaic spell. @tomstandage

          I still teach sociology: who & what influences our interpretations of reality—who is a witch; what is the best route to salvation; what is real & significant? A Harvard-educated minister in 1692; numerous Protestant theologians in Europe; every other media source since before now
