For this individual, postmodernity and postmediality provide perhaps "unique" material for nourishment and "elevation".
A highly "centered" individual would also be able to benefit from some of these "mediological-cybernetic" tendencies, which, unlike what Sartori - imbued with rationalistic-modern logic - claims, should not be rejected a priori but "assumed" in their most essential essence. deep, understanding what they mean, and accepting the challenge they pose. According to the sociologist, the trend - in particular of the first wave of generations - of this new way of approaching the media, knowledge and the anthropological being, seems quite devastating. At least based on certain data found every day, such as the logical and rational atrophy of the brain in the first generational wave, the completely disintegrated and "deconstructed" ego of the second.
