- Culture used to form through organic discovery. - Now, discovery is largely *passive*. The algorithm does the work for us. - But since we’re all largely operating under the same types of algorithms, this leads to [[{3.1} algorithmic monoculture]] and [[{3.1c} how algorithmic monoculture creates homogenization|homogenization]]. - [[{3.1d1} algorithmic monoculture is the memeification of culture-building]] - I wonder if this move from participation to consumption in culture-building, plus the homogenization, has to do with declining [[digital literacy]] / [[media literacy]]… - You learn by doing… If you aren’t *doing the act* of building your world / culture, how do you learn how to interact with it? - We haven’t bridged the gap for critically evaluating culture that has been fed to you instead of created.
