embodied wisdom and learning

"Social media algorithms are like the neglectful, inconsistent, or shaming parent. 

You only get attention when you behave as the “algorithm parent” wants you to behave. If you step outside the algorithm’s rules or the expectations of the popular dogmas of the day, you’re either attacked or ignored altogether on social media. 

And heaven forbid you post too often, use too many hashtags, or be too subtle—you’ll be ignored altogether. Social media can become a surrogate for the neglectful, shaming, or narcissistic parent if we’re posting from our younger selves."
