Hey everyone - this is the dashboard I use to monitor some of the hamsters powering PMAlerts. Happy to answer any Qs you may have.

If you click on the little boxes (task executions), you can see a bit more information about the task.

For sure. I have to periodically prune my social media accounts because whenever I hear about the latest atrocity, failure of the system, injustice, etc, I get all fired up and become a wannabe activist who thinks we can change the world with software.

I'll go to bed feeling like I've done my part before waking up to a crippling fear that I've been penalized for criticizing capitalism or the political system or something. It's a constant cycle between "optimistic and morally justified criticism" and "self-censorship" that's frankly exhausting.

How about you?

If he doesn't give a concession speech, we could be in for a world of hurt. There are plenty of ways for a stubborn incumbent to legally (albeit unethically) retain power.

1) 12th amendment 2) war 3) disease 4) other forms of chaos

We should be actively preparing for the worst case, fighting to defend our children against it. Worst case, assets acquired for future use.

Creator here. Happy to answer any questions, and would love to hear what you think!

I'm transitioning into a new role and thought this might appeal to you if you're ever in a similar situation. This is already paying dividends with my new team as I build out and act upon my little 90-day plan with my new org. Hope it helps!

I'm also not sure if book summaries belong here, so please don't hesitate to check me if I've violated etiquette in any way.

I think the problem here is ideological equality being corrupted by economic inequality.

The problem is no different from the issue we see in mainstream media. When our information flow is dominated by for-profit institutions, the information is biased towards profitable agendas. See: Tesla coverage bias, Cambridge Analytica, political debates favoring incendiary soundbytes because intellectual discourse isn't profitable, etc.

In Mark's shoes, I'd publicly acknowledge the importance of democratic information flow, ideological equality, etc and implement restrictions on the reach of any individual organization (or even ideology). I don't care if you have $1B to spend; you can only ever push your agenda to 1% of our audience at the same time. It's the ideological equivalent of an income cap.

But of course, Facebook, Inc. is incentivized to reframe the issue of "avoiding responsibility" in terms of "avoiding censorship" because avoiding responsibility is more profitable. Why not compare what they're doing to an oppressive dictatorship to really drive the angelic behavior home, while we're at it.

How is it possible to uphold freedom of speech when you allow someone to purchase my effective silence?

Obviously this would be challenging ~ how do you categorize ideology? ~ but I think at least starting to think about ideological equality in digital spaces is a worthy target of our cognitive and economic investment.

I think the argument boils down to fundamentally restructuring the syntax of our language to the point where pronouns are now individual identity-level constructs. I won't take a position, but I will say that this restructuring is expensive and confuses the hell out of me.
