Not a fan on this theory.
Not a fan of the theory bubbles exist in a form worse than before, if at all. It's pretty rediclious to think people in small towns are in worse bubbles now. And to be frank same goes for big cities. Would need a lot more proof. Do you think acceptance of gay marriage and pot reform has been made worse by these new 'bubbles'? If they exist it should have been.
I would say we are far better off, but there is a 'thing' slowing down progress at an even greater rate.
And propergander is far more effective, but I see this as a separate issue.
- TellMeWhoToBan 10y agoThe edge of filter bubbles in the counties and communities model was limited by the speed of information transmission. Rumors and new developments were highly prized due to the difficulty of information transmission. In a world where the costs of information transmission aggressively races to the bottom, filter bubbles are no longer driven by geoinformatic limtations. Instead, they are driven entirely by the limitations of each individual's capacity for cognitive overload management. The bubble beings and ends within the confines of the cognitive overload management of every individual in today's world. Therefore, any "political issues" that shares a structural resemblance of said strategy will find have an advantage in memetic survival. Anything that defies it too deeply and begs for more complexity will be eschewed and outright purged.
