Self-consciousness is probably a function of the amount of feedback we get from our peers. The form and format of it, especially from a person wearing a YouTube hoodie and is surrounded by a multitude of people, is, most likely, in mixed-media. There were probably people looking down on this guy as he was recording himself of the street. Not to mention the scientific discourse he was spouting. He says, "Don't feed the trolls," but the irony is that he is holding a camera to himself in public, thus exposing himself to more trolls. Maybe this is the new doublet of empirico-transcendentalism that Foucualt wrote so strongly about.
