Very excited to participate in a forum exploring the concept of "the post-individual," a theory I first shared earlier this year. Protein have invited two of my favorite thinkers — Kei Kreutler and Jack Self — to join me and others in a discussion of individualism and identity after the internet. RSVP below.
In a world where the self has long been the centre of gravity, are we witnessing a shift towards a new era — a post-individualistic age? From the rise of collective movements to the reimagining of community structures to fandoms becoming a pervasive and powerful force in culture, there are growing signs that the age of hyper-individualism may be giving way to something new. But post-individualism isn’t a simple case of neo-collectivism. While the internet allows us to embody multiple digital selves, challenging traditional notions of individual identity, it’s also fueling a loneliness epidemic and a friendship recession. We’re more connected to our many selves than to each other. So what does a post-individualistic age look like? And how can brands navigate this new reality? Join us for a conversation with: Yancey Strickler Jack Self Kei Kreutler Thursday, 3rd October, via zoom at 5PM UK, 6PM CET, 9AM PST, 12PM EST.
