"The Social Dilemma" documentary

[Northwind]

I have moved a bunch of posts to the Coronavirus thread where they belong. Please stick to the topic. Thanks.

It seems to me that the Social Dilemma is the Coronavirus.

If I search Trump tests positive ... will I get his IQ score?

Stocks slump after Trump tests positive; job growth slows

Analysts said some of the market’s movements could be explained by investors building up expectations for a Joe Biden victory of the White House.

Not really. Seems to me that the Social Dilemma was talking about social media. Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc... Might be a good example of how ideas spread...

A month ago you would have gotten the positive results of his cognitive function test, lol.

Or are censored.

Precisely. COVID and related bs theories are off-topic in this thread. We have two threads for those, no need to spread it to other threads.

Or are censored.

This belongs in a conspiracy theory thread.

 

[Ritafee]

It’s convincing the way social media influences opinion and action. Thus seen in the big mix of anti covid demonstrators with neo nazis , anti vaccers, and Reichsbuerger in Germany.

For crying out loud ... You win. Posts from myself will be now limited to the newest thread I started.

Maybe you should actually see the documentary on Netflix so that you get an idea what this thread is about.

This is not about winning or losing. It's about respect. Please stay on topic. Any further discussion of covid or general conspiracies will result in a thread ban.

Actually suggesting social media companies censor is not inappropriate for this thread. They censor information by tailoring content to their very specific target audiences using predictive algorithms.

@Ritafee has watched it. She started her own thread about it before this one was started.

She did. This is actually disrespectful.

 

[Mrs.Anteater]

She did. This is actually disrespectful.

Actually, she quoted an article about it. Without any personal comment. Some of her comments in this thread make one wonder if she has actually seen it, as it lays open the mechanism how people fall into conspiracy traps.

The social dilemma on Netflix is haunting. It doesn't shy away from the truth. "You are the product" is too simplistic, "It's the gradual change in your behavior and perception that is the product."

Threads are single stringed ... no enigmatic fabrications allowed in the grand narrative ... disrobed?

Yet the greater narrative goes on ... grandly mist! Cause there is this fixation with institutionalization ... especially in English spin on propriety ... beyond that items are evil and de Bellish ... large beefs?

Anyone feel cowed by the positions?

Anyone who has watched The Social Dilemma already knows that technology has fundamentally warped the way we see the world. But Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have become invested in holding technology companies accountable for the misinformation spread on platforms like Facebook. For a special TIME100 Talks hosted by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the couple sat down with two experts Tristan Harris, a Silicon Valley veteran who co-founded the Center of Humane Technology and appeared in The Social Dilemma, and Safiya Noble, author of Algorithms of Oppression.

During the discussion, Noble touched on Meghan’s own experience being the target of online hate.

You can watch the full TIME100 Talks special episode here.

In short one begins to realize the importance of questioning everything ...

Yet some firmly fixed, isolated individuals despise questions ... especially questioning everything ... as the tyrants believe they are everything that counts!

Thus the urge to runaway from all this non sense as a common spread ... of common deficiency ... a' voi dite? Silence my friend ... the Pah Rabble will take off!

Hi flight as ephemeral ... angelic ghosts flash by ...
