    This is the key to the idea that big tech is turning the world into an authoritarian place, where democracy lives as puppet theater for tech company venture capital, abusing our privacy and relationships to find our biggest fears and motivators. Social media algorithms are built to control people with that information through ads and targeted memes in feeds. Billionaires have figured out how to control the sheep and are fleecing them daily, down to the skin, and the sheep are okay with it because the walls are made of wolves. But the wolves don’t exist. It’s just fear of an uncertain future.
