That’s all very nice sounding, but there’s a kind of gritty assembly language that this all compiles down to: “I want the high-speed electronic dissemination of information shaped like this.” It’s an open question whether or not it’s possible to avoid shaping the firehouse in a modern liberal democracy, but you could go your whole life and never meet a person truly disinterested in bending it towards their particular tribalism. The whole time I was at FB I had two groups of people, each screaming in one ear, that we were not doing enough to suppress the “other” people. How do you put shit on a global electronic network without “gaming the system”? Have no bias? You got that down we should make you king.
