I understand there is a market for steel from ships that sank before 1945 because it is unpolluted by radiation from atom bombs.

Perhaps we will soon demand references from papers printed before 2025 and the great information pollution disaster

The 20th century is replete with vast, globe spanning, movements with vast ambitious and incredibly complex politico-aesthetic design languages who were defeated by the power of coca cola, denim pants that showcase butts in a nice way, and Metallica.

This can’t be repaired for the same reason why nothing in British politics and media can ever be fixed: the people responsible are not going to censure and fire themselves and each other. Which is the only way that any of it can ever be made better, by removing the people who made it like this.

I agree. Universities should be wary of putting out statements of political preferences.

Well.... we already have this with carrying computers on flights; phones go everywhere, and so on. The point is, if no one's looking or tracking, there is no law. Law regulates the seen; this data, these apps -- are not "visible" in statemaking terms.

This is not orchestrated propaganda but adaptive conditioning. Everyone, from Farage to the viewer at home, learns what the system rewards: outrage, certainty, and spectacle.

What they describe is performative discourse, where speech is rewarded for emotional impact rather than truth. Calm, reasoned discussion disappears because it does not perform well in the feed.
