Cannot Smith (for instance) help you address the question that lingers towards the end of this essay? The socio-psychological dynamics he outlines in his book "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" suggest that social mechanisms prevent people from getting caught in a vanity fair (i.e., being addicted to “likes”). They are related to virtues that guide the so-called “man within” or “impartial spectator” – but perhaps his theory has a hard time explaining how they emerge and institutionalize themselves in the first place. How do you imagine that we establish virtues in society that makes us less vulnerable to the forces at work in social media?
