Abstract
The Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor has shown how premodern persons had a sense of identity that was formed largely by their place in the world, while modern persons have more freedom to craft their own unique identities due to the onset of individualism. In contemporary American culture, he argues, we’ve seen a mass phenomenon of radical individualism wherein persons are self-centered more than they have ever been in human history, which is eroding social relationships beyond oneself to, for instance, one&s;s community or one&s;s country. Referencing works that span over several decades from Taylor&s;s career, the author articulates how and why the shift from premodern to modern versions of identity has occurred. He then utilizes the work of the French philosopher Guy Debord to unpack the ways in which the media and social media have influenced contemporary identity formation for modern persons. While Debord argued at the end of his life that it is impossible to escape the society of the spectacle, that is, the false, fragmented versions of reality peddled by the various media, the author shows how Taylor&s;s notion of genuine dialog provides a possible means of escape wherein modern persons can retread back to reality.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
