We're living in an unfortunate time when people have been trained so thoroughly to hate institutions that they've lost basic understanding of how those institutions work. And how they still serve us, despite their flaws. The institutions have become nothing more than abstractions that can be rhetorically written off and replaced by either outsiders from the establishment, or in this case algorithms.
