- Information junk food, vegetables and desert.
- We don't have a balanced information diet.
- Beware the filters.
- You are living in a filter bubble - google and facebook tailoring what gets into your bubble.
- You don't know what DOESN'T get in.
- Algorithms are curating the world for us, online.
- The editors were human gatekeepers, now the gatekeepers are algorithmic - created by coder-gatekeepers.
- We need control over the filters.
- Filters must be made more responsibly because we need to know things outside of our opinion set so that we can operate responsibly.
"Here's a novel idea to save the planet: Remove the main cause of its woes - homo sapiens. The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT - pronounced "vehement") proposes the phasing out the human race. "When every human chooses to stop breeding, Earth's biosphere will be allowed to return to its former glory, and all remaining creatures will be free to live, die, and evolve (if they believe in evolution)," offers the movement's website. But 'it's going to take all of us going'." See www.vhemt.org SOURCE: Email invite. I thought I was the only one who thought like this. Everyone I know thanks the universe that I didn't study microbiology. I would have developed a human-specific killer virus. WE are the vermin.
