      Culture is what you see reinforced around you in repetition, especially through peers. Now: algos are part of it. https://twitter.com/fergggggggg/status/836255281415864320 …

      If what you saw or experienced didn't matter, you wouldn't have different cultures around the world. Exposure architecture matters a lot.

      It's not humans vs algos. It's like—say—food. Humans have evolved tendencies which do vary but also cluster. Sugar, salt, spice, fats, etc.

      So your food choice architecture makes an obvious huge difference. You just have to take one look at historic and cross-country data.

      Now our networked public sphere lives plopped in the middle of supermarkets that make money per pound gained—aka pageviews aka "engagement".

      And supermarket owners are telling us how "open and connected" and well-stocked the shelves are... But there is so much more to consider.

          exactly, a sort of demographic "siloing" of content - which in this case leads to some disturbing places, politically.
