online algorithms have figured out what will keep you in the digital cage not because they're malevolent -- they've just figured out you if they couldn't successfully appeal to the lowest common denominator, the cage wouldn't work
online algorithms are the ultimate in pragmatic science. They hold no assumptions or models of what a human could or should be or become. They focus solely on actions and behavior and can ferret out the color button of a human prefers for purchase over all other colors. The content signatures and language patterns of semantic code that elicits our click, or attracts our attention. Algorithms will soon, and in cases already, know us better than we know ourselves. Because for most of us we understand very little about what attracts our attention involuntarily, what elicits our reactions unconditionally. We're like that boat of dude with Ulysses that need to be tied to the masts so we're not tricked by the Sirens.
