The Crisis of Profilicity: Fragmentation, Resentment, and the Path to Presence.

Social media platforms, where profiles are crafted to garner likes, shares, and validation, have given rise to a fragmented sense of identity.

Far from being a superficial trend, profilicity reflects a deeper psychological and spiritual malaise.
