Technological mediation (however) offers new methods of recombinatory creativity.
Otherwise put (and somewhat exhaustively decompressed): there exists a relentless metamorphosis of participatory reorientation to evolving rules, axioms, assumptions and methods of self-assertion, identity construction and communication; this is how the world functions and acts upon itself; as a gestalt, and recursively so.
The question may be about the destruction, not of democracy, but of a particular kind of idealised, normative fantasy and static continuity, a false narrative of equal stake, of white picket fences (or variants thereof) and equitable wealth distribution that anyone of even moderate wit and with a few historical facts in hand can quite simply determine is a rank fairytale.
The question is perhaps not only of the end of (a particular mythology) of democracy in it's transparent and irrevocably past tense as noted by the learned Winchell Chung above. It is (also) a question of how we are to leave an unsuccessful simulation of equitable social system behind us when the very technological tools which are forcibly dissolving that myth and that are (ironically) facillitating this realisation are also deeply entangled in the assumptions and axioms of that particular faltering economic, political and (yes, ultimately also) psychological world view; a world view which is only rationally intelligible and justifiable from within the boundaries of its own unintentionally discontinuous self-simulation and unravelling (if superficially admirable) aspirations to completeness, fairness and self-consistency.
This problem represents something of a reflexive entanglement upon numerous anachronistic ideological anchors; the technology is not so much of an issue as is the inability to move forwards - usefully, equitably into a new adaptive symmetry or complex organisational organism or system of some kind.
Change is mandatory. Adaptation is optional.
Peripatetic perspicacity, an occasional series, #1; disregard as necessary. 😆
Due to a small but consistent influx of spam, comments will now be checked before publishing. Only egregious spam/illegal/racist crap will be disapproved, everything else will be published.
More a matter of replacing "Will" with "Has"
