But the fall was not only cultural, since the company also took measures. A few days after the Astronomer incident, he released a statement, strengthening his values and announceing that he had launched a “official investigation”, after which Byron was resigned as CEO.
NYC/DC Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert said he believes that cultural obsession with viral feelings like a ColdPlay scandal is the perfect mix of psychology and social media dynamics, and gives the society a way to “direct the opinion” on the smaller questions.
“These scandals offer what I call” safe indignation. “They give people a way to direct the opinion and disappointment without touching big, more separate problems in society.
Alpert pointed to other similar patterns that the society had previously felt, such as bullying Falling WEWORK Due to bankruptcy Elon Musk and royal family.
“We saw this picture earlier: Adam Neyman became a meme when Wework fell apart not only from the bad business solutions, but also because people loved to make fun of his ego and excess. Elon Musk“With every wrong step on Twitter, instantly spawning jokes, and users sort out between the charm and mockery,” Alpert said.

“Prince Harry and Public Complaints Megan Markle caused endless memes and hot, not because people are worried British royalty But because the drama feels both for his own family feud. Even “Oscar” Will Smith became less about the actual slap and more about the collective projection, “Alpert said.
In the end, Alpert noted that the reason for the people who hyper fixed on these types of scandals are less relevant to the actions themselves and is more related to their own disadvantages.
“These scandals are more about our own anxiety about success, failure and strength. They are cultural unhealthy foods, they are satisfied at this point, but in the end they are empty. In the modern hyper-connected world, these stories have become psychological valves of pressure.

Schulman also called on the “complete shameless” landscape, which, she said, lives, and pointed to the ward and voting of the Senate for reducing financing of things such as nutrition and health programs.
“This is a legislation that is inherently shameful,” Schulman said.
