When it comes to my filter bubble on my media feeds,
I don’t normally come across something that I disagree so much on. I normally
want to see funny comedian videos or older rock music playlists. What I don’t
like to see is a lot of political standpoint and views. I honestly do not care
whom you vote for, or whom you wish was the president right now. The president
is the president, that’s it. If someone was to right a lengthy statement
stating why Trump is not my president, I unfollow that person immediately; its
not because I’m not a huge supporter of Trump, and frankly I don’t give a damn
if he is our president, I just don’t want to here long statements why he is not
your president, but guess what honey, he is your president and there is nothing
we can do about it…well if he messes up big time, then there’s a possibility to
impeachment but that’s another discussion.
With the decline of dissoi logoi there is not much
confrontation because with our filter bubbles online for example with Google,
they take our browsing history and recommend what we want to see and what we supposedly
want to interact with, based on our previous viewings online. I do believe this
is problematic because our feeds are dipping into our private lives and trying
to please our every need. But that is not realistic, there is always someone
who is going to disagree with you in your life so I want to be as knowledgeable
as I can so I am able to know what the other side of the story; for example, if
I am arguing about something political, I want to know what my peers are
arguing about, and I want to see their side as well. But with the Internet
deciding what I get to see, I will not be well informed.
To engage in dissoi logoi more
online, I can search things I would not normally search and learn about things
other than my own political views. I can also engage in dissoi logoi by putting
down my computer or cell phone and have an argument with another human, not to
just debate, but to become more knowledgably of their own points.
