This isn't going to be elegant post. Not today at least. This is meant to just get some of these thoughts out of my head.

We have to stop letting algorithms drive our attention. Algorithms are designed to grease the wheels of capitalism. To drive the greed machine. To extract as much money out of us in exchange for our most valuable resource. Our attention.

Stop letting it happen. Take a small step today.

• Limit your use of social media
• Curate what you want to consume, yourself:
  • Sign up for newsletters. It's ok to not consume the entirety of the Internet. Pieces of it curated by people you trust is just fine.
  • Use an RSS reader and tweak the hell out of it. Define what you'll allow to have your attention.

Always look for the helpers. There will always be helpers. Because, if you look for helpers, you'll know that there is hope.

Later. And love you.
