James Regan + 1,776 August 17, 2019 Human data mining where we are completely open and exposed to being manipulated, at what point does it change from being freaky when targeted to a toxic situation? We are being manipulated by a machine to make choices we wouldn’t normally do, this Trillion Dollar Industry is growing akin to mother Shiptons prophecy of the quickening.

Welcome to the Machine- Syd Barret 🤔🤔 This is one reason why I don't have a Facebook account, it's the epicentre of such practices. Of course, advertising has been doing this for decades if not centuries, mostly selling stuff not really related to the product at all but designed to push emotional buttons to purchase a product for entirely different reasons rather than it's actual purpose. It's one of the core reasons why advertisement driven consumerism is so wasteful and destructive to our surroundings and why many people can no longer recognize truth from falsehood regardless of how daftly it's presented. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
