When you search far beyond the ordinary, you're able to discover extraordinary things.

Schools have prescribed literature.

Book stores have best-seller sections.

Social media have engagement-focused algorithms.

What they all have in common is that they curate what you get exposed to. Curation makes you see one side of the story.

When you have the full context, you can decide for yourself. You can use your own judgment, rather than go with the one-sided information you have been provided. For this you also need the other side of the story.

Why did they pick this particular source of information? How are they being incentivised to do so? Keep these questions in mind whenever you are recommended anything.

They want you to agree with their view? That's fine. But delay that decision until you see the full picture.

Curation is propaganda.
