All these absurd algorithms have promoted the worst traits in some of the most prominent people. They are junkies addicted to visibility and attention, the constant feedback loop.
Humans are drawn towards negativity: if something is “bad”, misspelled, we disagree with it, we engage with views & comments about how bad it is. We share it with a friend, saying, “Look how stupid this is.”
This feeds the algorithm to prioritize division and anger. Unchecked and coupled with modern nihilistic views of moral value & importance, we’ve reinforced all the wrong things…
The man who wrote Jesus Walks has completely lost his mind. His mom would be crying at this behavior.
I feel like if my conservative grandparents, who died in the 90s, were transported to the modern world without context or the slow propaganda, would ask, “What is going on here?!” My grandfather fought in WWII against the Nazis.
Most of this ranting is rhetorical: I’m venting. But I dunno… I’m not waking up to a happier day right now. The modern world is collapsing…
