@reddit contributed to my learned helplessness. Big tech has engaged in a gnarly pattern of dossier-building rumor-perpetuating algorithmic-targeting abuse practices. @google, @reddit, @twitter and others have all participated. They all maintain secret dossiers that the end citizen never gets to see.

People will handle this differently. Some love the attention. Others find the presence of cameras on the front of every cell phone unsettling. I find the current state of affairs to be a new form of natural selection, a new filter to see who can adapt to the impending ubiquitous technical surveillance society towards which we're headed.
