Modernity knocks the fun out of life.
It optimizes the knowing for the not knowing.
And the reality is the 'not knowing' is where the fun is at.
The texture of life.
Modernity optimizes the wrong thing and removes the right thing.
Does it backwards.

This is a macro view of what I’m on about when I discuss the poverty and barrenness of algorithmic dating and algorithmic everything. For some reason, indiscernible to me, people (mostly liberals) believe if they have “all the data,” then the decision wil be obvious and correct.
But the decision isn’t in the data and has little to do with it! The data captures only a very small fraction of the real factors present and those are mostly non-quantifiable — even in principle. So it’s all a waste of time and an illusion, but it’s one that way, way too many people are completely convinced of.
