Social media is not neutral.
It is a nervous system disruptor—engineered to fragment attention, distort identity, and commodify connection. This episode threads a ritual reckoning through the architecture of harm, naming the ache and advocating for fascia-safe digital sanctuaries.
📍 Social media as engineered ache
Algorithms serve engagement—not coherence.
Engagement, in this context, means addiction.
📍 The cost of curated illusion
Comparison becomes metabolised as truth.
Rhythm, rest, and relational attunement collapse.
📍 The nervous system is saturated
Fascia, psyche, and breath are overstimulated and under-held.
This is not accidental. It is designed.
📍 Governments know. Regulation is performative.
Rising rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness are not mysteries—they are consequences.
Harm is profitable. Surveillance is strategic.
📍 The architecture of harm is lucrative
Innovation is cited while coherence collapses.
Freedom is claimed while intimacy is harvested.
We are not data points.
We are not engagement metrics.
We are relational beings, sacred architecture, and we deserve better.
Let this be a threshold. Let this be a reckoning. Let us ritualise restoration in the face of engineered ache.
