Tell that to the water bears: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade Not only is their original habitat 420 K and 1 K (absolute zero) they’re described as “colony” species. Quite interesting.

What you’re describing is exactly what’s going on. Cambridge Analytics was the smoking gun. That unraveled what sophistication of technology is being used to mine the internet and control sentiment.

Not the same at all given the sophistication of targeting allowed. Yes, ads have always been this. But no, it’s never been like this. All that data on the internet is being used to train algorithms to sway global sentiment. This emerges as

It’s more boomers AND TikTok. The whole enchilada. Wave after wave. That’s the scary part.

I never said to focus on TikTok. I’m saying they aren’t mutually exclusive at all.

Precisely. It’s incredibly alarming what one can do with very little resources. It’s downright horrifying or exciting when realizing what one can do with more than average resources. In a way, that’s why I think the battleground is more “we

And add every single site that has user generated content. If an algorithm can influence the behavior of the users, it’s being done at a state level.

Not voting is a behavior pattern. Any behavior can be influenced by information propagation. The behavior of not voting has its own second order of effects. Also rooted in not believing in the structure one is participating in. But that’s l
