Reposted by Walking NPRMelissa Nadia Viviana 🐸 @resistrebelrevolt.net · 20/12/2025What I want people to know about intelligence is that it is always made better by humility. To never think you have all the answers. To know when to listen to others. To not expect people to reconfirm what you already know & instead, tell you something different. We could have had that in America🧵 513016

Instead, algorithms gave us feedback loops of our opinions. Telling us what we wanted to hear & giving us more confidence in disinformation than ever.
