Echo Chambers Are Not Built Only by Algorithms
People usually explain internet echo chambers in a very simple way: algorithms show users more of what they already like, so communities slowly become more radical and isolated. That is true, but it is only part of the story. A more interesting explanation came from researcher Petter Törnberg from the University of Amsterdam. His study…

Posture and gait
Feet should never move faster than the head. Action should never outpace sense And when I say this, I mean not only the abstract idea but the real physical presentation too: it literally just looks better when a person walks straight and without a hurried, rushed, unbalanced appearance.

strong middle class creates the best average conditions for civilization
The middle class is where civilization happens. Not because middle-class people are saints, and not because rich people are all stupid or poor people are all broken, but because the middle is where human beings are most likely to stay proportionate.

Degrees of freedom
Freedom is a necessity for society, and in any case it will come to this because the best, intelligent people will not be intimidated anyway, they will still act in their own way, within the categorical imperative of the mind in the pursuit of the highest quality and development of life… and who drives progress…

Large systems
Small, decentralized, mixed all together systems works betters and more stable. Scalability needs to be highly realized and adjusted – it is potentially dangerous to grow and grow and grow.

It’s easier and better to take courage and admit that okay I was wrong and shut down the failed project (and any other projects) than to pull a nonsense and make it worse just to show them you’re “so good” you can’t be wrong.
