    Because that’s what computers used to be for. Now we drive engagement.

        Yeah, I think I live in a dreamworld like in the old show Computer Chronicles when computers were presented by scientists and used by engineers to do actual work. It was easy (for me) to grasp.

        Now we have every sector of human activity, including those I consider at best useless, at worst harmful, like endless advertising, merchandising, propagandizing, misinforming, etc boosted exponentially because of essentially free computer power.

        Not building a leisure society and using our tools for good, instead we just amplify the worst aspects of humanity.
