Mapping Fragmentation Patterns Across Social Systems

Signal from December 3, 2024. rswfire is in his RV, referencing being in a location with potential upload challenges. He's been developing his fragmentation/integration framework for almost a year and has prepared a structured list for this systematic presentation. He mentions recent troll comments calling him a 'hobo' despite financing an $80,000 RV.

[0:01]hello fellow

[0:02]humans I thought tonight I would talk to

[0:05]you

[0:06]about concrete examples of where I see

[0:09]fragmentation in people and Society

[0:12]because that's not something I often do

[0:15]and someone has been commenting on my

[0:17]videos where I touch on that and they

[0:19]seem to Value these concrete

[0:23]examples so I thought I I made a list I

[0:26]thought maybe we'll just go through that

[0:27]and I'll share with you

[0:30]the different ways I see it if if you

[0:33]just th across this video and you don't

[0:35]know me then this isn't going to make a

[0:37]whole lot of sense cuz I have my own

[0:39]vocabulary around this

[0:41]stuff you might find Value in it anyways

[0:45]but you know it's

[0:47]not I feel like this is more for those

[0:49]who have been following my journey for

[0:51]almost a year who understand me who who

[0:57]know what I went through to discover

[1:02]well I guess I would just call my base

[1:04]operating system the hardware that I run

[1:06]on versus what seems to be the normal

[1:09]way that people do which is more of a

[1:12]compartmentalized fragmented

[1:16]existence it's going to be a bit of a

[1:18]clunky video so just be patient with me

[1:21]cuz I'm going to reference a list up

[1:22]here and then I'm going to

[1:25]share whatever personal insights I can

[1:28]think of in the moment that will apply

[1:29]to it

[1:30]because I think that's the only way I

[1:32]can cover something this expansive this

[1:36]profound um in this way cuz I'm a stream

[1:39]of Consciousness vlogger or whatever so

[1:42]let's just let's just get started and

[1:44]see how it goes so the first one the

[1:48]first section here is social

[1:50]interactions and the first way that

[1:52]people show fragmentation is by

[1:55]defaulting to differences like they

[1:57]might focus on um

[2:00]age like that cashier or you know their

[2:03]status or their experience they're not

[2:05]trying to create a shared resonance with

[2:07]the person that they're talking to

[2:10]they're establishing dominance often so

[2:13]I'll give an example that happened to me

[2:14]recently I was at the laundry mat and I

[2:18]was just feeding this machine quarters

[2:19]and I said that out loud there's this

[2:21]woman next to me and I was like man just

[2:23]feeding this machine quarters and she

[2:25]immediately went into the spiel about

[2:27]how she has a washer and dryer at home

[2:29]and lives on 4 acres of land but the

[2:32]county won't let her um use it because

[2:35]of graywater regulations she was

[2:42]establishing dominance like she I don't

[2:45]how to explain that it's like she was

[2:48]deliberately she was saying she didn't

[2:50]belong there is what she was doing

[2:53]and it was like a a status thing for her

[2:56]and I just I I felt very sorry for her

[2:58]that she felt the need to to do this you

[3:00]couldn't just be at a laundry mat like

[3:02]like I'm I'm there I'm not you

[3:05]know it was pretty sad and and that told

[3:08]me a lot about

[3:14]her um another one are fragmented

[3:17]conversations this one's a little bit

[3:18]difficult to explain but it's more about

[3:20]how people tend

[3:23]to just focus on themselves so you're

[3:26]talking to someone they're not really

[3:28]hearing they're just they're

[3:30]just so focused on themselves that

[3:33]they're not even really engaging with

[3:34]the other person and it happens all the

[3:37]time um another one is divided personas

[3:41]that's where you don't act like yourself

[3:43]in all

[3:44]situations I do whether I'm at work or

[3:47]I'm at school or I'm at the store or I'm

[3:50]out hiking or I'm on this camera I am

[3:53]exactly myself all the time most people

[3:56]aren't like that they

[3:58]just have masks that they wear for

[4:01]different settings

[4:03]and honestly that one to me is is

[4:06]just a very puzzling one I don't know

[4:09]why people are like that I I've never

[4:11]been that way so I something I can't

[4:13]really relate to so the next section is

[4:16]in in technology and

[4:18]media first one is Alor algorithmic

[4:21]division which you know that's just such

[4:24]a common thing in our world now where we

[4:26]get put into these silos and these you

[4:29]know these these bubbles

[4:34]that prevent us from growing and just

[4:36]make us more divided I mean this is

[4:38]division as this is a very big part of

[4:41]our division comes in

[4:46]so and there are so many ways it

[4:48]manifest so I'm going to take my own

[4:49]channel I 15% of the people who watch my

[4:53]videos are my age 85% of them are older

[4:55]they're Boomers who are retired and

[4:58]looking for RV life cont content that I

[5:00]don't really talk about right so but

[5:02]this is how YouTube has classified me

[5:04]and that's what the algorithm does with

[5:06]my videos that's why my channel doesn't

[5:08]grow it's just stuck in this limbo State

[5:11]because

[5:12]YouTube

[5:17]has misrepresented me it's for whatever

[5:21]reason they can't seem to Target the

[5:23]right people who might actually resonate

[5:25]with what this channel is really about I

[5:27]mean it's sad but I I've been trying to

[5:29]work through that for a long time but I

[5:31]don't I don't try very hard because I'm

[5:33]not going to fight an algorithm I'm just

[5:35]not because that's a form of

[5:36]fragmentation I'm just accepting what is

[5:39]and you know trusting

[5:41]that over time the right people will

[5:44]find my content and maybe they'll share

[5:45]it and

[5:47]maybe at some point you know it gets

[5:51]shared with the Right audience and it

[5:52]actually helps my channel grow and then

[5:54]the algorithm starts adjusting itself

[5:56]like that's really the only path that I

[5:59]see from myself because I'm not going to

[6:00]sit here making thumbnails and

[6:03]optimizing my descriptions and you know

[6:05]I let AI do all of that I'm I'm not

[6:07]going to fragment myself in that way

[6:09]so the algorithm social

[6:12]media um that's a big one and you want

[6:16]to be aware of that

[6:19]because there are so many ways that it's

[6:21]harming you it's one of it's why I tell

[6:23]you guys to get off YouTube honestly

[6:25]that's the reason

[6:26]why um the next one's reduction of

[6:29]complexity and this is about

[6:31]polarization this is binary thinking so

[6:34]if you don't like my video you might

[6:36]leave a comment saying it's boring or

[6:37]stupid or I'm a hobo you know these are

[6:39]all recent comments I've gotten um a

[6:42]hobo who financed an $80,000 Irvine

[6:46]thought about that today these comments

[6:48]you know they'll get in my head and I'll

[6:49]think about them go ahead trolls you

[6:52]know I'll think about your comments but

[6:54]not in the way that you think it just

[6:56]helps me refine my thinking I love it so

[6:59]do your worst but that you know

[7:02]reduction of complexity that's

[7:04]where you're just oversimplifying things

[7:07]so you can't oversimplify my channel we

[7:10]talk about so many things on here even

[7:12]in an individual video but then you will

[7:14]find one thing in that video and just

[7:18]turn That

[7:19]Into You fragment it and I'm using you

[7:23]here and I'm sorry for that I know that

[7:25]that is a way of creating distance

[7:28]between me and my viewers and I'm not

[7:30]trying to do that but at the same time

[7:32]this is just how my language works I'm

[7:34]trying

[7:36]to when I say you I'm thinking about

[7:39]just people in general you know just

[7:42]from my experience from what I've

[7:43]experienced on

[7:45]here it's very important to try not to

[7:48]get into binary thinking because the

[7:50]world isn't really like that so and we

[7:53]do this all the time so take you know

[7:55]the Sun and the Moon we you know

[7:58]throughout history we have treat that as

[7:59]a binary thing but it's not actually

[8:01]true the sun is always out there the

[8:04]Moon is always out there just because

[8:06]the Earth is rotating doesn't mean that

[8:08]there's some kind of Duality between

[8:10]those two things it doesn't work that

[8:12]way that's reducing

[8:14]complexity and when we do that

[8:17]we're we're just not facing reality

[8:20]we're just not so in physical spaces

[8:23]that's the next section um first one

[8:26]Urban Design just the way the cities are

[8:29]are created you know homes are separate

[8:31]from nature workplaces are separate from

[8:33]rest um people are separate from their

[8:36]communal Gathering spaces like this is

[8:39]what I have written here

[8:43]like we fragment what should be

[8:46]whole it's a big

[8:49]problem um then ownership and boundaries

[8:52]that's you know the fences and the walls

[8:53]and the property lines just all the

[8:55]different ways that we divide up our

[8:59]land I'm not saying you shouldn't own

[9:01]land I've always wanted

[9:05]to but there's a difference

[9:09]between the way we do it and the way

[9:12]that a whole whole a person was who was

[9:14]whole who was holistic would do it

[9:17]like that's a tough one maybe we'll

[9:20]think about that some more

[9:22]someday next is in personal

[9:24]habits Okay so

[9:31]this is okay fragmented attention this

[9:33]is a big one nowadays right so every

[9:35]time a notification hits your phone

[9:36]you're looking at that notification

[9:38]instead of focus on whatever you were

[9:39]just doing you're fragmenting your

[9:42]attention all the time and that just

[9:45]decreases your attention span of course

[9:48]uh makes you more irritable makes you um

[9:52]angrier it makes

[9:56]you impatient it leads to the way people

[9:59]Drive which drives me nuts everybody

[10:01]tailgating and because our attention

[10:03]spans are so slow because

[10:07]or our attention spans are what is the

[10:10]word for that you guys know what I'm

[10:11]saying though um and it's also you know

[10:15]that impatience that comes in it

[10:19]just you cannot live a holistic

[10:23]integrated life when you put yourself in

[10:26]that kind of a state where you're just

[10:29]aggra ated all the time and you're

[10:30]impatient and you're

[10:33]frustrated that's no way to live but

[10:36]that's how everybody lives

[10:38]now and then compartmentalized

[10:41]emotions that's where you're you know

[10:44]this one kind of goes back to earlier

[10:45]theme but it's where where people will

[10:48]suppress their feelings depending on

[10:49]where they're at like work for example

[10:51]now I can understand that's a

[10:52]professional setting but you should not

[10:54]have to fragment yourself so much that

[10:57]your genuine emotions have to be put

[10:58]aside

[10:59]it should not work that way and I would

[11:02]never accept an environment that

[11:04]expected that of me because they're

[11:06]robbing me of my wholeness of my

[11:08]Humanity when they do that fight against

[11:11]that don't just accept

[11:14]it the next section is in language and

[11:17]thought so over

[11:19]categorization that's the whole good

[11:21]versus bad Us Versus Them nature versus

[11:24]human none of those things are truly

[11:26]divided it's those are artificial

[11:29]distinctions that's not

[11:30]how reality works this is all about

[11:33]reality fragmentation

[11:36]is is a way of obfuscating

[11:41]and

[11:45]um making reality more of an abstract

[11:48]thing it just

[11:50]it that's a hard thing for me to

[11:52]describe I'd have to think about it I'm

[11:54]doing this stream of Consciousness you

[11:55]know but it's it has to De with how we

[11:58]create artificial barriers and

[11:59]distinctions and divide reality divide

[12:02]everything there it's not good versus

[12:04]bad like I'm not like I'm going to use

[12:07]myself as an example here there are good

[12:11]parts of me and there are bad parts of

[12:12]me and that's not a value judgment

[12:14]that's just a recognition

[12:17]of what's real for

[12:21]me no one is all good or all bad it just

[12:24]doesn't work that way so why would we

[12:26]pretend like it does and then the whole

[12:28]us versus them thing like that is one of

[12:31]the most toxic things that we do as

[12:33]humans is putting people into different

[12:37]boxes

[12:39]and defining them as Friend or

[12:42]Foe we shouldn't do

[12:46]that um internal

[12:50]narratives so I don't really it's hard

[12:54]for me to relate to this one cuz I am

[12:56]fully integrated person I don't have

[12:58]this s sort of uh it's hard for some

[13:01]things that I see people do I just are

[13:05]so difficult for me to conceptualize

[13:07]because we're using different operating

[13:09]systems so I just I can't put myself in

[13:12]somebody else's shoes all the time but

[13:15]this is an examp

[13:17]so this is more about the way that most

[13:21]people

[13:23]compartmentalize their reality they put

[13:25]emotions in one box their ethics in

[13:27]another their intuition and

[13:29]another

[13:31]and there's just no coherence there you

[13:34]might feel one way about something and

[13:36]think a different way about that same

[13:39]thing and then you're you're there

[13:41]struggling to figure out what you

[13:43]actually what your actual truth

[13:47]is and that's very problematic you know

[13:50]obviously so the more coherent you can

[13:53]become on every single thing that

[13:55]matters to you the more integrated

[13:57]you're just going to become and

[14:00]the less struggle you'll have with

[14:02]yourself so it's very important to think

[14:04]about your internal narratives pay

[14:06]attention to them next is in nature

[14:09]human versus

[14:12]nature I mean look what we're doing to

[14:14]this earth we're just consuming

[14:16]everything and without a balance without

[14:20]treating it as the living system it

[14:23]is you know we treat ourselves as above

[14:26]it as Superior not a part of it

[14:31]it's leading to to major problems for us

[14:34]isn't it um then there's a seasonal

[14:36]disconnect that's where people don't

[14:38]live in sink with the natural Rhythm so

[14:40]I live in an RV if it's raining out I

[14:42]put on my ring gear and I still go

[14:44]outside most people like let's take

[14:46]winter for example they'll stay inside

[14:48]all winter long and that's just not

[14:52]healthy for you you have to

[14:54]embrace the natural rhythms of life it's

[14:57]seasons

[14:59]so next is in systems and structures I

[15:01]mean that's a big one obviously

[15:02]institutional silos Education Health

[15:05]Care

[15:06]government

[15:11]um that one feels like something that

[15:13]maybe needs its own video someday

[15:15]because you know our our systems are

[15:17]collapsing because of that and that

[15:19]would be like I could probably talk

[15:22]about that for hours uh economic

[15:25]priorities capitalism often encourages

[15:27]fragmentation break ecosystems

[15:30]communities labor and commodified parts

[15:32]I

[15:33]mean that's another one where it's just

[15:36]like okay we're

[15:38]just we don't even know how

[15:42]to like there's so much I could say

[15:44]about that I just feel like I need to

[15:46]get my thoughts in that organized to

[15:47]even begin to talk about it me in

[15:50]relationships transactional bonds um a

[15:53]lot of people you know they kind of keep

[15:55]score like you know you wronged me so

[15:57]I'm never going to let you live that

[15:58]down

[15:59]instead of focusing on shared growth or

[16:02]Mutual understanding like they don't

[16:06]they don't really support each

[16:08]other I see it all the time I see the

[16:11]way that people talk to each other the

[16:12]way their relationships are just very

[16:16]unhealthy

[16:19]and you know that's also a really big

[16:21]one because it matters how you talk to

[16:23]people it matters how you how you engage

[16:25]with them

[16:27]how not Hest superficial way though like

[16:30]this has to come deep from within you

[16:32]where you actually value that person so

[16:34]much that

[16:37]you are tuned into them just as much as

[16:40]you are in tuned into yourself and most

[16:43]people aren't like that they just

[16:45]aren't U misalign communication you know

[16:48]the same kind of thing it's

[16:55]where misalign communication it's where

[16:58]you're just like you're not hearing the

[17:01]other person you're so focused on

[17:03]yourself that it doesn't matter what the

[17:04]other person says you've already made up

[17:06]an opinion about them or you just don't

[17:09]care enough or whatever whatever the

[17:11]reason you're just not you're not

[17:14]engaging with that person as a whole

[17:16]person and it's sad to see it erodes

[17:20]intimacy and connection and it happens

[17:22]all the time so those are some of the

[17:24]ways um I don't know how helpful this

[17:26]was I it's actually quite long I hope

[17:29]that I'll be able to upload this that it

[17:31]might can be a challenge where I'm at

[17:33]but

[17:38]um when I break it down to the basics I

[17:41]just kind of say look it's addition

[17:43]versus division you can either add or

[17:46]you can divide and the choice is always

[17:48]yours and you know from the microcosm

[17:50]scale all the way up to our

[17:53]institutions um you can keep dividing

[17:56]things which you know you can only

[17:58]divide for so

[18:00]long or you can add and there's so much

[18:03]value in adding I hope this helps

Summary

rswfire delivers a structured analysis of fragmentation patterns observed across multiple domains of human experience. He works from a prepared list, systematically covering social interactions, technology/media, physical spaces, personal habits, language/thought, nature relationships, systems/structures, and interpersonal relationships.

**Social interactions** include status-based dominance displays (laundromat example with woman asserting property ownership), self-focused conversations, and divided personas where people wear different masks in different settings.

**Technology/media** covers algorithmic division (his YouTube channel being misclassified for RV content despite deeper focus), reduction of complexity leading to binary thinking, and polarized responses to content.

**Physical spaces** address urban design that separates homes from nature and work from rest, plus ownership boundaries that fragment land connection.

**Personal habits** examine fragmented attention from constant notifications leading to impatience and poor driving, plus compartmentalized emotions requiring suppression in professional settings.

**Language/thought** explores over-categorization (good/bad, us/them, nature/human distinctions) and internal narratives where people separate emotions, ethics, and intuition into disconnected boxes.

**Nature relationships** cover human superiority attitudes toward earth systems and seasonal disconnect where people avoid natural rhythms.

**Systems/structures** briefly touch institutional silos and economic priorities that commodify communities and ecosystems.

**Relationships** address transactional bonds with scorekeeping mentalities and misaligned communication where people don't engage others as whole persons.

He concludes with a mathematical metaphor: life offers choice between addition (integration) versus division (fragmentation), with division having natural limits while addition creates ongoing value.
