Algorithms are the foundation of how a system functions. A system is a large structure where each component is connected by a specific energy that forms relationships, and the entire system moves in a set direction. Understanding an algorithm provides insight into the system, how it operates, and its overall direction. However, creating an algorithm requires the system creator to take a risk and pay a price for the entire system. That’s why designing an algorithm isn’t easy, even though using one is simple. Once an algorithm is developed, system members become reliant on it. The way to break this reliance is to either discard the algorithm or develop a new one. Knowing which system you belong to and how it functions is extremely important. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Facts and fake news coexist on social media. So do claims and counterclaims. In theory, the new communication tools of social media give them equal opportunities to express themselves. It's a communication environment, unlike anything humanity has ever known. A great way to make your voice heard in this environment is to state your beliefs and connect with the people who support those beliefs through social media. Social media will connect you with sympathetic people, no matter how illogical or unpersuasive your beliefs. Traditional media can't structurally accommodate this mechanism, but it's a reality. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
