The Ellisons Are Beta-Testing Big Brother.
If your feeds, subs, streams, games, and sports don't ensure you are on your "best behavior," your school and its EdTech partners will.
"If you believe, as Ellison does, that Americans will be better off when they are subjected to 'supervision at all times,' then buying microvideo platforms, enterprise software, streaming services, cable networks, gaming developers, & internet publishers is just buying supervision capacity."

I mean, she's right. It's just that she leaves out the reason that the 'conservatives' receive hate is because they are promoting violence against people they disagree with. *shrug*

You don't have to swallow frogs
Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.
I wrote about Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, why swallowing live frogs is a bad idea, and how context and history can release you from bright-kid syndrome, the illusion that you yourself are going to have every answer or fix the world.
