Many commentators conceive the self in either atomistic or holistic terms, even as our understanding of the self as a node of processing within the wider network for revealing the "wisdom of crowds" has long transcended this dichotomy. Understanding the self as a "center of narrative gravity" leaves room for a robust individualism in the context of rich sociality. Such a conception is already present in the classic individualism of the 19 th Century and supports optimism that digital culture at once encourages individual flourishing and cultural progress alike
