  • One reason we live in the shameless era: the cacophony of information.
    • The discovery that leads to shame takes time to catch up with you.
    • In our modern cacophonic information landscape, things have already moved on by the time the shame-causing revelation would have caught up.
    • As a result, it's only in a kayfabe-style shame for superficial things that get caught, but in a way that feels more like professional wrestling to get mooks to root for their tribe, then it moves on.
    • Meanwhile, fundamentally shameful actions never get prosecuted in the court of opinion.[e]
    • We've got more folding chairs being broken over internet personalities' backs, than actual justice.
