But then once we go into, I'm going to get you to vote for someone that you otherwise wouldn't vote or not vote at all. It's this entire second world where suddenly your choices are no longer your own. And Because you mentioned connection, I think where we see this materialize in the context of social fabric is that the more and more we personalize, the less and less connected we are.

The less and less we actually have this sense of shared reality because we're all seeing the same thing. So I think a lot of people are talking about this in the context of echo chambers, of filter bubbles. But the convenience that we get sometimes by seeing some of the stuff that's relevant, that's really tailored to us in our psychology,

Also means that what I see might not be at all related to what you see now. We don't even have the same conversations anymore, right? And there's also no checks and balances in terms of what news are out there. Are they actually factually correct? Are they potentially slanted? Or like even these cultural references that we use to have like these fun conversations, right?

We talk about a movie or an ad that we've seen together on TV and everybody sees the same thing. So it creates this bonding. And I think the more we move to an online world that's trying to emulate and simulate some of the ways in which we've traditionally customized content and communication, it just means that we don't see the same thing anymore.

And that kind of then erodes some of the connection I think that you were referring to.

I love that. So the puzzle metaphor is, I think, one of my favorite ones because it really tells you how this world works. If I ask people, how worried are you about your smartphone sensing data being out there, about your social media posts being out there, about your credit card spending being out there, oftentimes people are not even that worried because it doesn't seem super intimate.

If I think, okay, maybe someone knows where I work, maybe someone knows where I live, Maybe someone knows that I got a Starbucks coffee. Maybe someone knows that I went to a vacation because I post about it on Instagram. In isolation, those traces don't even seem that intimate and intrusive, right? Because it's like this one insight into what we do.
