s03e98 | You Are Your Avatar (Identity in the Profile Age) | with Professor H. Georg Moeller

Professor Moeller teaches at Macau University in southern China. He has been publishing excellent philosophical videos on youtube, having to do with Identity as it is expressed currently and in the past. I find his model of explaining current social behavior quite helpful in better understanding how people are relating themselves in the digital era. In this interview we explore his concepts of Sincerity, Authenticity, and Profilicity—and their implications.
