Two complementary arguments. One from Jovan Kurbalija, about how social media algorithms already shape what individuals see and how we decide.

Second, Howard You shows a similar erosion within organisations. Their agency weakens because they optimise for stability over awareness, losing their ability to adapt and respond, until they eventually “lose their minds.”
