The world grants power through the interpretation of phenomena, gaining support from many people. Acquiring power through interpretation is termed “interpretation supremacy.” Interpretation involves explaining and understanding the essential concepts that are often concealed in a phenomenon, yet are crucial to its existence. The media has embraced journalism for its capacity to rapidly disseminate facts to a broad audience. Journalism embodies interpretive supremacy. To make an impact in the world, I must be able to express myself and my actions in an engaging and accessible manner, leveraging various media to share my interpretations. With the prevalence of social media, all that is required now is the skill to interpret and seize interpretive supremacy, along with the capability to articulate it effectively. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Facts and fake news coexist on social media. So do claims and counterclaims. In theory, the new communication tools of social media give them equal opportunities to express themselves. It's a communication environment, unlike anything humanity has ever known. A great way to make your voice heard in this environment is to state your beliefs and connect with the people who support those beliefs through social media. Social media will connect you with sympathetic people, no matter how illogical or unpersuasive your beliefs. Traditional media can't structurally accommodate this mechanism, but it's a reality. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
