CURRENTLY READING: NEW DARK AGE

August 21, 2020 by Natasha Chuk

‘Computation, at every scale, is a cognitive hack, offloading both the decision process and the responsibility onto the machine. As life accelerates, the machine steps in to handle more and more cognitive tasks, reinforcing its authority — regardless of consequences. We refashion our understanding of the world to better accommodate the constant alerts and cognitive short-cuts provided by automated systems. Computation replaces conscious thought. We think more and more like the machine, or we do not think at all’ (p. 43).
