Observing Me Observing You

I was struck by all of the clips from the various fake journalists and "influencers" whose response to being in the middle of a shooting was to point their phones at themselves to take photos/video.

One of Bari's dullards: 



People who conceive of themselves as the protagonist of existence are not new - a lot of writing has long been narcissistic "observing myself observing an event" - but the phones do let them all express that in a new way!

Point those cameras at what you're looking at, not at yourself looking at it!
