Okay, let's assume that you're right, and that tech algorithms "work perfectly" and feed us what we "should" consume (quotes for precision, not for sarcasm).
What do you think are larger implications, if any? Do you think that tech's "precision" service is a good thing for you, or for us as a human collective?
Wow, this was such a pleasure to read! Apologies if this is lame but I wanted to share my own newsletter (bookcrumbs) because I think you might like it. Every week, I recommend one novel along with a film and song pairing that I think fits it's flavour profile. Maybe check it out?
If what we consume is who we are (at least to Google and the others), is there any way we can dig our way out other than try to hide our preferences from whoever is monitoring them?
They never work "perfectly" for me at any rate, at least at the beginning. I do notice that over time, things that are pushed to me have more relevance and interest.
