Views on Information Cocoon

Since the beginning of TikTok, short videos have been rampant, from YouTube shorts to Instagram Reels, from TikTok to Snapchat. We are all trapped by algorithms. The information we see is completely determined by the platform, and the views imposed on people by the platform are often accepted. In the past, people in the city could only see the chaos and tragic killings outside the city, but could not see the kindness of people outside the city. People outside the city also only know the embarrassment and anxiety of people in the city. The gap between people has increased, and the opposition of views has become more prominent.

There is no need to say that you can stay out of the mud without being stained. This is absolutely impossible. Under the precise analysis of Tavistock psychoanalysis, Nixon suffered a mental breakdown in the face of the sudden large-scale accusations of the media. He did not know that he had been designed to fall, but was just confused. How many people were shocked by watching certain content and went to Apple stores to smash Apple phones? Even these people’s behaviors were filmed and pushed to more people under the platform’s algorithm, distorting their three views. I myself have also suffered from it. I once mistakenly thought that the so-called "correct views" in some videos were of great benefit to people, so I promoted them to others. Now I think it was really foolish.

The push of content by these platforms is changing people's views very quickly, and to some extent, it has also created great social pressure. There was a time when I was anxiously watching videos every day. What I saw was that Jewish capital was monopolizing the world, Israel was carrying out large-scale massacres, and college students could not find jobs after graduation. Some of these contents were indeed true, and more were just associated contents for traffic. But the continuous accumulation is that people feel pain and indignation, but is it really useful?

There are many things we are powerless to do, and many things we cannot directly help. This is not an era of entertainment to death, but an era of anxiety to death for many people. At most, we can do our own things well, and we are powerless to interfere in the affairs of others. The so-called "pacifying the country before resisting foreign aggression" is the right way of life. If you blindly accept the content pushed by the platform and worry everywhere, you will only mess up your own position in the end.

Although it is impossible not to be happy with things or sad with yourself. But we should escape from the information cocoon from now on and actively search for the content we need, instead of being trapped in the information cocoon, asking for underwear and food whenever we want, and becoming Internet giant babies.
