Excerpts from article :THOM HARTMANN<\/a> OCT 30, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly the greatest threat to humanity at this moment is the algorithm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can twist and wreck people\u2019s minds and lives \u2014 tear apart families and destroy countries \u2014 in a way that can be more rapid and more powerful than heroin, cocaine, or fentanyl. And yet it is completely unregulated.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An algorithm is a software program\/system that inserts itself between<\/em> humans as we attempt to communicate with each other. It decides which communications are important and which are not, which communications will be shared and which will not, what we will see or learn and what we will not.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The algorithms driving social media sites ultimately decide which direction society will move as a result of the shared information they encourage or suppress across society.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The algorithms\u2019 main purpose is to make more money for the billionaires who own the social media platforms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The morbidly rich people who own our social media, focus more on adding more billions to their money bins than the consequences of their algorithms, don\u2019t seem particularly concerned about these issues. Instead, they appear to be intentionally tweaking their algorithms to promote content that agrees with their political views and economic interests (although we can\u2019t be sure because they keep them secret).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Zuckerberg is only one of numerous media billionaire’s cashing in on the dance to the algorithm. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way Katy Perry is in the news these days so put your dancin’ shoes on and chain yourself to the rhythm…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
