Over at @twitter, @jack is thinking how to use algorithms & humans to down-regulate voices that aren’t “true” experts or authorities.
Ok. Here’s a test puzzle: run 2002-7 mkts through your proposed solution. Do you find us anti-experts who warned, or “experts” who failed us all?https://twitter.com/jack/status/1020767829878947840 …
Precisely! The democratic nature of Twitter allows the canaries and Cassandras their say. We need dissenting voices that diverge from the "credible" orthodox opinions of "experts." You must tolerate the speech of cranks to allow for Cassandras.

@EricRWeinstein noted in his recent conversation with@benshapiro, the democratization of the algorithmic switch, the ability to toggle on/off, x/y, the algorithms, might just reveal the extent of the 'benevolent' manipulation already underway... -
Yes! We need to learn to always demand access to the “switches” for their algorithms, no matter who it is.

I say let them be. You just have to be competent enough to wade through the trash and hold onto content that's relevant to you.
