FRANKLIN FOER:
Fifty years ago, the way that we consumed food was revolutionized. We began eating processed foods, and it seemed amazing.
And then we woke up many, many decades later, and we realized that food was engineered to make us fat. And I think that these companies are doing the same thing with the stuff that we ingest through our brains. They're attempting to addict us, and they're addicting us on the basis of data.
So, right now, Facebook wants to make money off of video. And so, even though I prefer words to video, it's giving me video constantly when I look at my Facebook feed. And even though I'm somebody who likes to read conservatives, likes to read people on the far left, it's essentially only giving me screeds against Donald Trump, because that's what, based on my data, it thinks that I want.
