The problem with California is that the oligarchy that runs it is committed to turning diverse nations and cultures into totally undifferentiated human matter.
The broad definition of the word algorithm is “a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end.” This term is a perfect metaphor for the process unfolding around the world wherein, step by step, national identity and individual competence are being erased in a process that is implacable and relentless. In some cases, this algorithmic erasure is literal, expressed in every microtargeted image that hits our ubiquitous screens. But whether it’s literal or a metaphor to describe the culture being imposed upon us, our erasure is happening as if it were driven by an algorithm without a soul.
