\>“They say it’s the ‘me’ generation. It’s not. The arrogance is taught, or it was cultivated. It’s self-conscious. That’s what it is. It’s conscious of self. Social media – it’s just the market’s answer to a generation that demanded to perform, so the market said, here – perform. Perform everything to each other, all the time, for no reason. It’s prison – it’s horrific. It’s performer and audience melded together. What do we want more than to lie in our bed at the end of the day and just watch our life as a satisfied audience member. I know very little about anything. But what I do know is that if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it.”
