If you don’t pay close attention, all your preferences could end up being not what you actually enjoy but what is high status or what will not anger your tribe

In a weird way with the advent of social media this is happening at scale that is unprecedented 

The other weird thing is all of our preferences are starting to converge; go to Italy in the summer if you are in the US, go to Venice, get a house, get the same instagram ad furniture, wear lulu lemon

Unconsciously were being herded, dangerous if you are not present

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

absolutely, it's incredibly concerning. 

I think this is the result of algorithmic feeds in social media. No longer are we actually being shown what we have selected (via follows) but we are being shown what an inhuman creation (ai ML algorithm) thinks will increase watch time, thereby increasing advertising revenue. 

I think we may need to see more development of closed or exclusive communities where people are given information directly that opt into, rather than being fed it constantly by a literal feed
