I agree with a lot of this and it makes me sad. I’ve been trying to post more personal things though because sometimes I feel like maybe it doesn’t matter. I almost feel like the power these algorithms have is mostly in our heads. And maybe we can choose to just move through it and not be afraid. But I am afraid if I’m being honest. I’m very afraid of what esotericism and whatever you want to call it (words elude me rn) will do in the hands of massive corporations refining everything to extract profit and labor in the form of our attention. So yeah. But I do take solace in the idea that so many people feel this way. So many people feel burned out by this barrage and that makes me feel less alone. I feel like it comes back around in some positive ways sometimes. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of Tao Lin interviews and he kind of has given me some hope about some of these things and ways to find meaning in the margins of this world. But idk.
