This time, the AI system figured out how to keep us engaged to our screens. And more often than not, they keep us enraged, engagement through enragement, by amplifying what I call PPM or polarization per minute so that people experience a very high polarization per minute because that's the thing that keeps people glued to the screen. So instead of a few gatekeepers making sense of the daily news, now people are human in the loop of AI, like a hamster in a hamster wheel. And so the hamster wheel turns faster and faster. The hamster feels great because probably needs to exercise, but has zero control, zero steering of where the hamster wheel is going. And so the system is struggling because the old system, this broadcasting system, applied to this massive information abundance, just prioritizes the megaphone to the extremes. Because this system was never designed for broad listening, for listening at scale. It was just doing broadcasting at scale. So everybody broadcasts, retweets, dunks, but nobody really has the time and space to pause and listen broadly in this space. you
