Verbatim quote · from the corpus

“We are all highly mediated and technologized men and women. It’s staggering to think of all the ways we operate as signs across all the different media, and the way in which all of our habits, including of thought, depend upon all the devices we are plugged into. It is clear that the political vocabulary we are used to, comprised of “values,” “ideas,” “opinions,” “agreements and disagreements,” “principles,” and so on, are completely inadequate for conditions where the tweak of an algorithm will determine whether 0 or 10,000 people will be exposed to something I say.”
