The big tech companies, left to their own devices (so to speak), have already had a net negative effect on societies worldwide. At the moment, the three big threats these companies pose – aggressive surveillance, arbitrary suppression of content (the censorship problem), and the subtle manipulation of thoughts, behaviors, votes, purchases, attitudes and beliefs – are unchecked worldwide

- The big tech companies, left to their own devices , have already had a net negative effect on societies worldwide.
- At the moment, the three big threats these companies pose
- aggressive surveillance,
- arbitrary suppression of content,
- the censorship problem, and
- the subtle manipulation of
- thoughts,
- behaviors,
- votes,
- purchases,
- attitudes and
- beliefs
- are unchecked worldwide
- author: Robert Epstein
- senior research psychologist at American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology
- paraphrase
- Epstein's organization is building two technologies that assist in combating these problems:
- passively monitor what big tech companies are showing people online,
- smart algorithms that will ultimately be able to identify online manipulations in realtime:
- biased search results,
- biased search suggestions,
- biased newsfeeds,
- platform-generated targeted messages,
- platform-engineered virality,
- shadow-banning,
- email suppression, etc.
- Tech evolves too quickly to be managed by laws and regulations,
- but monitoring systems are tech, and they can and will be used to curtail the destructive and dangerous powers of companies like Google and Facebook on an ongoing basis.

Editorial: The real reason I wanted Cmm to succeed: to democratize programming. It wouldn’t belong in any business plan, and I seldom mentioned to anyone, but the real reason I wanted Cmm to succeed was not about making money (although paying the mortgage was always important). The real reason was because of the feeling I had when I programmed a computer to perform work for me

I was doing some random searches for older material on zettelkasten in German and came across this.
Apparently I've come across this before in a similar context: https://hypothes.is/a/CsgyjAXQEeyMfoN7zLcs0w
The description now makes me want to read it all the more!
This is a book about a box that contained the world. The box was the Picture Academy for the Young, a popular encyclopedia in pictures invented by preacher-turned-publisher Johann Siegmund Stoy in eighteenth-century Germany. Children were expected to cut out the pictures from the Academy, glue them onto cards, and arrange those cards in ordered compartments—the whole world filed in a box of images.
As Anke te Heesen demonstrates, Stoy and his world in a box epitomized the Enlightenment concern with the creation and maintenance of an appropriate moral, intellectual, and social order. The box, and its images from nature, myth, and biblical history, were intended to teach children how to collect, store, and order knowledge. te Heesen compares the Academy with other aspects of Enlightenment material culture, such as commercial warehouses and natural history cabinets, to show how the kinds of collecting and ordering practices taught by the Academy shaped both the developing middle class in Germany and Enlightenment thought. The World in a Box, illustrated with a multitude of images of and from Stoy's Academy, offers a glimpse into a time when it was believed that knowledge could be contained and controlled.
Given the portions about knowledge and control, it might also be of interest to @remikalir wrt his coming book.

But systems of schooling and educational institutions–and much of online learning– are organized in ways that deny their voices matter. My role is to resist those systems and structures to reclaim the spaces of teaching and learning as voice affirming. Voice amplifying.
Modeling annotation and note taking can allow students to see that their voices matter in conversation with the "greats" of knowledge. We can and should question authority. Even if one's internal voice questions as one reads, that might be enough, but modeling active reading and note taking can better underline and empower these modes of thought.
There are certainly currents within American culture that we can and should question authority.
Sadly some parts of conservative American culture are reverting back to paternalized power structures of "do as I say and not as I do" which leads to hypocrisy and erosion of society.
Education can be used as a means of overcoming this, though it requires preventing the conservative right from eroding this away from the inside by removing books and certain thought from the education process that prevents this. Extreme examples of this are Warren Jeff's control of religion, education, and social life within his Mormon sect.
Link to: - Lawrence Principe examples of the power establishment in Western classical education being questioned. Aristotle wasn't always right. The entire history of Western science is about questioning the status quo. (How can we center this practice not only in science, but within the humanities?)
My evolving definition of active reading now explicitly includes the ideas of annotating the text, having a direct written conversation with it, questioning it, and expanding upon it. I'm not sure I may have included some or all of these in it before. This is what "reading with a pen in hand" (or digital annotation tool) should entail. What other pieces am I missing here which might also be included?

Las rondas campesinas no solo actúan en la región cajamarquina, sino también en los poblados de las zonas altas de Piura y Lambayeque, donde se han producido escasos casos de contagio, en contraste con las ciudades cercanas al mar donde existen un alarmante número de infectados.
Hipótesis: si existe la presencia de Rondas Campesinas, existe un mayor control social y menos contagiados, lo que no pasa en los territorios donde no existe la presencia de R.C.(Costa Norte).
