Serwer’s latest piece for the Atlantic leads with this quote that has lived rent free in my head since I read it in 2004. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Americans Are Trapped in an Algorithmic Cage

The private companies in control of social-media networks possess an unprecedented ability to manipulate and control the populace.

This was from 2004. Bush era. How does it not sound like the vile posture from Vance.

Screenshot from October 17, 2004 NYT Magazine article by Ron Suskind about the Bush White House. It reads: "The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
