In this lecture, philosophy professor and Overthink co-host Ellie Anderson explores philosophers Georg Moeller and Paul D'Ambrosio's theory that profilicity has come to supplant authenticity and sincerity in contemporary life. In the age of selfies, social media profiles, and more, being seen as being seen is more important than trying to be an authentic version of oneself. This is based on the first couple chapters of their book You and Your Profile: Identity After Authenticity.
