But how does one respect the intellect and agency of one's peers when one feels the public can be "damaged" merely by the local maxima of YouTube or Facebook's recommendation systems?
It's like YouTube showed me too many spiritual videos, and now I give all my money to Scientology.
- pgsandstrom 7y agoTo me it is simply the truth that we as a population is affected by ads or propaganda. Every single person might tell themselves "those ads dont affect me", but that is obviously not the truth. It does not mean that I lose respect for anyone. We, as humans, are simply flawed. And our society should help us make the best of our flawed selves.
