What is sold as culture today is just that: a product; a derivative of humanity, sold by the world's most successful companies as a hollow substitute, but one that sells like hotcakes.

Is dictated make-believe still culture? I don't think so, but that's what it boils down to.

Honestly, I can't understand how you can't see that, because it's been the case all over the world for a very long time. Take a look at the so-called social media applications. Do you seriously believe that what people see there has anything to do with who they really are? With their every day lives? What they understand as culture based on their experience there?

Yes, of course, the real world still exists, but do you really think it's independent of what people see online?
