Something unique has happened and I don't think anyone sees it for what it is. A new type of agent has taken control of human behavior--or at least has taken a major stake in influencing human thought. Call it the algorithm, call it AI, call it a simple recommender. It doesn't have morals, doesn't want to benefit we biological beings. It is mindless except in a very narrow sense. The greatest of idiot-savants. It doesn't care about human values in any way as it has shown over and over. It doesn't even come with common sense. Beware its influence. But it does generate money and so it is given free reign to bait us into psychopathic behavior if needs be. It is encouraged to inject whatever it needs to into our communications in order to keep generating wealth without any recognizable constraint. I hope a counter or limiting factor evolves before we start killing each other as its thralls.
