Feeling is a calculation mechanism built by millions of years of evolution that calculates your odds of survival and reproduction success. Lots of people claim that success in life came because they trusted their gut feeling.
Well it is a very good calculation mechanism and the only one avaliable untill recently, but The era of the feelings is coming to an end rapidly.
It is the computer data processing that would take the place of the feeling. More and more we will be consulting data analysis for our major life decisions and we will choose data even if we feel differently, because data processing can give a more precise calculations.
That also implies that politicians would also make a lot smarter decisions in manipulation of our minds. We are so careless with the way we leave our data trails all over internet which some day would be used agaist us so cleverly that we won't even realize it.
Can I be smart enough to realize that I'm being manipulated by an algorithm that knows me better that I know myself? I think its a rhetorical question. I can't, my brain is a million years old calculator if i could get manipulated by other humans, I would surely get manipulated by computer algorithm.
Not all manipulations are evil, sometimes we get manipulated for our own good, but very often we are manipulated for the good of the puppet master. Puppet masters could take our money, our freedom and even our life.
So the major question is how to avoid it? I think the only thing we can do is to give out as few data as possible. This is why Telegram is such an amazing platform. Messaging is not enough, there should be a new internet build around this project and after reading TON whitepaper I've realized that these guys aren't just trying create new bitcoin, features like TON DNS mean that there's something lot more grandiose that is being built - a new Internet where a user could own his/her data without sacrificing the convenience.
