The branch of thought that asks what media does to our perception of reality, truth, and each other. If everything is mediated through screens, is there an "unmediated" reality anymore? If you see a war on TV, are you experiencing it or just watching a representation of it? And if your entire knowledge of the world comes through media, are you living in the world or in a media-constructed simulation of it? Media philosophy doesn't have answers, but it does have a lot of questions that will make you feel vaguely uneasy while scrolling through your phone.
Example: "After a day of doomscrolling, he entered a state of media philosophy. 'If I see a disaster on Twitter, then see it again on Instagram, then again on TikTok, am I experiencing the disaster or just experiencing media about the disaster? And if I don't post about it, did it even happen?' He then posted this thought, completing the cycle."
