One significant problem we seem to face in the 2500 year old modern world is that of signal pollution. The self, being a contingent event, is increasingly scattered across the increasingly heterogeneous range of cues that make up contemporary existence. And being nothing but a set of responses to those cues, it naturally becomes more and more heterogeneous with them. At a certain point the signal sinks below our ability to detect it. Noise overwhelms signal. We ourselves are lost.
What is the remedy?
