Seduced into Self-Exploitation: Liberation Theology for the Algorithmic Age

Bo and I came in hot this week — Five Iron Frenzy concert tonight, a heated Chick-fil-A debate (Bo is wrong), In-N-Out orders, and the things southern Idaho doesn't have — before diving into the first five of ten thesis statements from the book I'm writing on the digital colonization of the self. I threw the whole document into an AI slide maker without any coaching and we're seeing the results live for the first time, slides out of order and all. We covered the algorithm as history's first successful colonization of human interiority (Jesus said go into your inner room to pray — that assumes there's a door, and the algorithm picked the lock), how this empire rules through seduction rather than coercion so we don't recognize it as empire, the disappearance of the face of the other and with it the possibility of ethics and love, neuroimaging studies showing the gray matter in high social media users' prefrontal cortex is physically shrinking, and Robin Dunbar's research on why screens can't transmit the endorphins that genuine social bonding requires — we're scrolling through pictures of food while our stomachs remain empty. Bo got under conviction live and committed to stop calling in pickup orders so he can stand in line around actual humans, we had a real exchange about spirituality versus religion, went on a significant detour about dating apps and the disappearance of in-person flirting, and we'll do the other five theses next week.
