"We're not decentralizing for the sake of decentralization. We're decentralizing because it allows us to reach towards that terminal value of cognitive liberty." - @mmasnick
Thinking and talking about why the #SocialWeb matters is so needed. I love the earlier examples in the show and recognize some control over what we see relates to CL, but by following others who follow and boost others etc, the freedom is very limited by their choices. I prefer #AttentionDemocracy.

just that I don't fully control what stuff gets into my head. the people I follow have a huge influence over that. and they are influenced by who they follow etc. but avoiding the algos and ads on corporate platforms is great.
maybe the problem is the term freedom or liberty, but our minds here are more free than in the bad places yet not totally free. like our choice of actions under a democratic govt vs dictatorship or anarchy.
