> It's shocking how we can have so much outrage over unknown people but we're flush out of rage for the system that makes us so angry all the time.

I suspect the answer is to find out who benefits from our misdirected anger, and whether they are also involved in creating and fostering this misdirected anger.

It's old news now, but when I first heard about social media (Facebook specifically) and gaming companies hiring psychologists years ago, I knew it was pretty much over. Couple this with surveillance for the doom spiral.

This is pure paranoia; none of this requires a centralized bad guy.

		This is what most don’t understand. The reality is, we’re all villains. And we’re all angels. And the only thing that determines how we’re perceived, is the disposition of those perceiving us. This person is a villain, because you don’t like this kind of person. That person is an angel, because you have an affinity with that person. There is no one benefiting, other than we ourselves. But don’t underestimate the power of the dopamine rush we all get by having our biases validated. We have already met the enemy.. He is us.
