18: Scroll, Post, Repeat: Who are you performing for?

from Philosophizing With A Hammer · host Ben-Fradj Rachid

In this episode we confront a haunting question: Are we truly ourselves online, or just performing versions of who we think we should be? Drawing on Sartre’s concept of “bad faith” and Foucault’s digital-age Panopticon, we explore how social media transforms identity into performance, authenticity into aesthetics, and freedom into algorithmic suggestion. From Instagram’s curated self to LinkedIn’s highlight reels, and the creeping influence of AI on our choices, this episode challenges you to ask: Am I choosing who I am? Or am I being chosen?
