The Truth (In Principle)
(compiled 15th of July 2024 until 18th of July 2024)
This world we live in is currently called the post-algorithmic society.
In the pre-algorithmic society, it's small communities and leaders that decided which information was worth and which stuff should be thrown away. Now, the power of influence and privileges is given to an automated machine designed to benefit the corporate entity, leaving out true authentic and human decision-making from every single bit of it.
Maximizing human existence is a way for me to keep myself sane in the age of information and algorithmic changes.
Social media produced manufactured curiosity.
In a world centered around sharing content and scrolling through short-form videos, we have been led to think that finding any interest outside of it is a waste of time.
The only valid interest we can have is the curiosity of finding new stuff in social media.
Manufactured curiosity indeed exists on purpose to let us, as users, have less control than we think we have.
