This video clearly demonstrates how our music tastes are engineered, and how we rarely get to discover what we like for ourselves. It’s not a stretch to think that the “trending now” section in social media searches is also using the same formula for pushing what is and is not news to the unsuspecting masses. Incidentally, this is also the formula for the nightly news, morning news, newspapers, magazines, etc… It’s a coordinated effort to program in the news and trends, rather than objectively report what is actually news. We live in a highly engineered and deterministic world; free will is becoming an illusion the further we go down the rabbit hole of predictive programming.

About Nathan
I'm a Logocentric philosopher who has created an integrative methodology called the Unity Process, which combines Natural Law, Metaphysics, the Trivium Method, Socratic Questioning, Jungian shadow work, and Meridian Tapping—into an easy to use system that allows people to process their emotional upsets, work through trauma, correct poor thinking, discover meaning, set healthy boundaries, and refine their viewpoints. We practice it together in our groups, and in our individual sessions. View all posts by Nathan »
