Heard something interesting today. In the past, one of the most important and powerful jobs a human could have was a newspaper editor.
Lenin, before he was dictator of the Soviet Union, was editor of a newspaper. Mussolini, before he was dictator of Italy, he was editor of a newspaper.
Now the most important editors in the world are algorithms - algorithms that determine what the people see. And I’m all for efficiency, but how are those algorithms shaping our culture and beliefs as a society?
Yeah, pushing the fear, hate, anger button can get engagement - Ive certainly fallen for it - but do you know what gets even better engagement? Love, curiosity, inspiration, passion…I found this flyer of Apple from High School - maybe this approach can get results too while also helping to create a society more aligned to who we truly are and what we really want.
