LinkedIn as the last refuge for serious cultural discussion

Francesco Cascino argues that social media platforms like Facebook have failed to foster meaningful cultural discourse, instead promoting superficiality and manipulation. He criticizes Facebook for banning artist nudes while allowing exploitative content, and contrasts it with LinkedIn, where professionals engage in more serious exchanges. Cascino laments the degradation of Italian cultural heritage, citing mass tourism and political neglect, and points to Matera as an example of community-built art. He advocates for art as an antidote to ignorance, emphasizing its role in connecting emotional intelligence with unexplored worlds. The article also touches on the misuse of sex in advertising and the need for critical thinking over speed.
