      In principle I should approve of this but something about it sets my teeth on edge:http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/06/08/531796329/eager-to-burst-his-own-bubble-a-techie-made-apps-to-randomize-his-life …

      This is it for me: "What if people wouldn't let him in? But, as a kind of unassuming white guy, he actually didn't have this problem."

      I mean, "And Max acknowledges this privilege." Great. But then he unabashedly took advantage of it. And now NPR is endorsing it, in a way.

      It's basically the embodiment of the notion that a straight, cis, able-bodied white man has the *right* to enter into any space he likes.

      This disclosure tells me that the app isn't working: he still can't see the bubble, and hasn't escaped it.

          This could also work as an argument against travel, couldnt it?

          Well, only if you explicitly travel to escape your bubble but wind up traveling​ to places within it. And I've certainly seen that happen...

          Yes, travel can only be acceptable for the right reasons.

          Facebook events are a bubble filter in and of themselves.

          So true! Wherever he goes, he carries the "cute, affluent, white guy" bubble with him, like Jon Hamm's character on 30 Rock.
