We like to think we choose what we see, want, and believe. But algorithms shape our attention, train our desires, and gradually narrow what we consider possible. Like air, they’re hardest to notice when we’re breathing them all day.
Over time, we may become more predictable to ourselves, confusing familiarity with truth and recommendation with personal taste. We’re still free to choose, of course. We just increasingly want what we’ve been taught to want.
