This emphasizes that trolling and data poisoning aren't necessarily a bad thing; we see the word "poison" and instantly think of negative connotations like illness, fatigue, and death. However, it can often be used in a positive light, as in this example, where they used it to fight back against a massive corporation that chose greed over humanity. The same can be said of the ICE applications recently: people began applying to ICE just to deny the position, stalling DHS and wasting the time they would have used to hire, but then undertrain, overpay, and undermine immigration security.

Data that launches a conclusion hardly means it's the cause (correlation does not mean causation), and people often forget that. Treating every correlated data set we find that boosts our personal, political, or other beliefs has been the pinnacle of interaction online because more often than not, people force their beliefs in what they found to try and sway the opposition. They don't want to debate or understand the other side; they only want to win the argument.

We often see this when it comes to politics specifically contemporary politics. Social media platforms have become a major influence in politics and how people react to politics show their true colors on what they believe. Statistically people are ruder online than they would be in person.

Ever since social media became popular, it’s been much harder to determine who’s genuine versus who puts on a show to conform to society. I think social media has become a breeding ground for loss of connection to self and persona.

Context is almost always lost when it comes to written word; we use writing as an outlet for history and culture and communication. However, context and syntax are crucial to many of these outlets. That’s why whenever you read something it should always be read in the best tone for the context of the situation.

I appreciate this analogy; it can also resemble our current state of our own country when people often do not take accountability for their actions because they did not participate “first hand.” Online has taken this donkey protest dilemma to the extreme; often times people are extremely more outspoken on beliefs or topics because they’re behind a screen, much like controlling bots where they don’t believe they should be held accountable for what the bot had posted/said online because “it wasn’t me!”

In other words, it’s like the fundamental structure for more developed code? It could be interpreted as the building blocks for what humans can understand of the vast universe of coding.
