I added a link to Jung's concept of "persona" to the sidebar of this community: For Jung, "the danger is that [people] become identical with their personas—the professor with his textbook, the tenor with his voice." The result could be "the shallow, brittle, conformist kind of personality which is 'all persona', with its excessive concern for 'what people think'"—an unreflecting state of mind "in which people are utterly unconscious of any distinction between themselves and the world in which they live. They have little or no concept of themselves as beings distinct from what society expects of them."

"Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments." Marshall McLuhan
This particular media environment is mostly one person's attempt to organize fragmented concepts and presentation on the very complicated topic of how the Mass Mind / educated mind of individual people relates to society they live in at the time - and how they learn and acquire new information and experiences. Topics are also likely to focus on group behaviors, conformity influences, mob mentality, trending changes and information - how this all relates to personal self-awareness, education about the persona, and how much freedom there is to swim against the stream or river.
