I have now been a journalist for 40 years. The forces ranged against my profession have never been so powerful | George Monbiot
Once, I believed that humanity’s problem was an information deficit. Now, I know you can’t speak truth to power if power controls your words, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

"We"?
The problem is, *we* aren't building these systems. A very small number of very wealthy companies, controlled by a nearly-as-small group of even more wealthy men, are building these systems.
And none of the incentives align with "helping people draw their own, more accurate conclusions".

Perfection was a little bit too close to home… Reading it I kept having a slightly unnerving feeling of participating in the kind of curatorial act central to the novel. Are we all reading the book, the same way we buy our beans from the local roaster?

I can understand the argument in the thread but think it’s plain wrong. Mostly, I’m offended by the use of the words ‘funny’, ‘used to be’, ‘righteous’, ‘aesthetic sensibilities’, ‘quality’, and ‘normal’. Which I guess was the point.
It's funny to think that fighting chain stores in cities used to be this righteous progressive cause. Sorry if it offends your aesthetic sensibilities, but quality chains are what makes a neighborhood attractive to normal people.
