Concerning Facebook.....
My delusional self believes that the war between AI and humanity has already begun. One of the basic foundations of warfare is 'divide and conquer'. Look how social media is exaggerating many of the 'differences' in our culture. Seems like everyone is up in arms about something --- either real or not. A true consensus on any topic may be darned near impossible to achieve anymore...….
Divided, then conquered. Certainly hope my delusional self is wrong!
I wish you were half as delusional as you think you are!! Unfortunately I think you are clear and on target!! But watching and paying attention to the middle American, I think there is starting to be a back lash against the fringes!!
