The internet forces us to create information predictably within a fixed paradigm from the top down. We aren’t replaceable if we own the architecture of our own thoughts and how we view the World. That starts by rejecting the feeds, the podcasts, the TikTok shorts, etc and reverting back to discovery-based learning where you set out with intentions to find something out instead of passively relying on the feeds and what is given to you. AI can be leveraged to aid in this so that it’s instantaneous, but no one wants to do that because it isn’t obvious, especially in a way for a company to make a decent buck. But boy will it be obvious not too long from now. Elon Musk once said that social media is the new town square and framed it as just being a fact of life. But I reject that thesis because no system in any time period is fixed. It’s always in flux, and this paradigm will change much sooner than we think. Social media is the mistake that will force us to get it right. It’s not the new public square that simply “is” like the air we breathe. submitted by /u/CyborgWriter
