"aspects of cancel culture represent the ironing out of human behavior, a weaponizing the monetization of data so that life changes to remain the same, entirely predictable, and avoidant of risk to the financialized system. we are the ai test subject to be honed."

however it's likely that civilization will digress very far in technology before the most extreme brain hacking can occur. The internet can't really read my thoughts, i offer it up freely to monetizing conversations because i never click on ads anyway, it is used again me in other ways but i just have to shrug about it. The internet can read people's intentions and curiosities super easily though, almost the same thing as reading your thoughts.

i guess there's a choice window with all technologies, where it starts out as just a cool thing people can tell their friends about, and then even the most superfluous things like the internet become a necessary safeguard against total isolation and poverty...kinda like what happened with cars...except i personally think it's easier to not have a car than have limited exposure to the internet now adays.
