@aral yes free is a Lie, but it is also a paradox! If they couldn't predict our preferences, we wouldn't like their services as much :/ -
@Laerkespenner Not a paradox, a false dichotomy: they present themselves as the only alternative—the alternative is for you to be in control -
@aral yes! But you know.. People ARE lazy and don't realize the impact of letting someone Else control what information they get.. -
@Laerkespenner Indeed. Which is why our alternatives have to be _as easy_ to use :) http://indietech.org/video -
@aral possibly a too complacent view, but isn't mass human behaviour prediction like predicting the weather? Too chaotic/dynamic a system -
@turnofftheDOTtv I don’t need to predict mass behaviour (although I can), I need to understand, predict, and influence _your_ behaviour.
