Will I be able to change the space I’m in based on my mood? It would be fun if I could manipulate the algorithm serving me content in real time. For example, I would like to turn on “make me sad” mode or “make me want to exercise” mode.

What’s strange about this case is that there are lot of carcinogens and evil pesticides out there that are not heavily regulated. For example processed meat has a very strong link with cancer and the nitrites added to processed meat are lik
