| On DOP#1 we today have Autonomy and freedom...(sounding like a weekends true optimistic party-victiom) ...let me conclude Are we not more free than ever before? -surveillance capitalism
-constantly nudged by algorithms fed by behavioral data
-exposure to ads
-influencing many
-influence people use to lock the world into being a certain way A nudge may (do) also detract (do I really need a fight-or-flight response to trigger in the middle of a meeting? No I do not.) -Why do promoting keep things wich people doesn't are or preciselier have/and be, that often seem to nudge people toward choices that someone else would prefer we make. Prices are maximised as much as they can be while still allowing enough sales to sustain the system. There's no fairness in pricing nor a human element, it's automatically kicking the customer and patting them on the back at the same time in real time. -They are making us more human, in terms of that free will is an illusion, at which point you have to wonder what "freedom" really means, if anything, and so the best we all can do as a society is to be aware, rejecting things don't serv our aims (celashion), and to continuously make intentional choices. Promoting: "As you have that choice!" Hey wasn't there a "Yes cynism is the real good stuff"-topic two weeks ago... hope that wasn't too...'whenever'... P-: (moshes-head-rising victory-fingers) |
