When you can actually find Adorno talking about dangers of segmentation and targeting... Which is interesting enough.

Sadly, we need public intellectuals the most in the time when Facebook has devalued the concept of a public intellectual

Time to take this stuff seriously, in the context of power, real power—rather than making fun of easy targets with no power?

It's not read as criticism or satire of Facebook. It's not CEOZUCK etc. It's easy shots at hype with someone with no power.

Enormous amount of energy that should be spent being critical is spent at laughing at marginal stuff far far away from power.

CEOZUCK could be different/interesting account. tho i'm under no illusion that comedy moves needle, as opposed to organizing etc

I think comedy is powerful; but it has to be directed at the powerful and power structures. Thinkfluencers are not that.

If anything, I think the focus on the easy to make fun of but powerless has hidden how deep & how scary the real issues are.

If the whole thing was, indeed, propped up by consulting gigs and thinkfluencers, I'd just go back to reading history books.
