I’m trying to understand how Jordan could have become so worked up to the point of advocating authoritarian controls which he spent his early life studying in tyrannical 20th century regimes
I can only assume he, surprisingly, feels a lack of power at 5.3M followers like I do at 1K followers
I suspect he feels his social activities should be having much greater impact on people than they do
I feel the same way, too
Trolls are going to troll, though, and the advice “don’t feed the trolls” is truer now than it ever has been with algorithmic trolling
I wonder if he’s confusing phenomena. It could be he’s mistaking what the algorithms are feeding him because of what he engages with.
The X For You tab is algorithmic trolling. Engage with that and the algorithm will give you another bucket of slop and you’ll think that’s the real world.
You must stop using social media the way social media wants you to use it
Once you start using social media the way you want to use it, the algorithm starts working for you instead of you working for it
It changes your reality sphere
Wake up, Neo. The Matrix has you.
