Instead of being isolated and kept in our own echo chambers, we could actually use it as a tool to expand our view on the world and become potentially connected to people who look very different to us and have totally different life experiences and that we would otherwise never get to see. And I'm talking about it in the context of the US right now.

You could imagine I could step into the shoes of someone who lives in Thailand, someone who lives in Chile and see, okay, what are the topics that they actually care about? What does their daily routines look like? What are some of the things that they might be worried about? What are some of the things that they dream of?

And I think if we talk about connection right now, because we're so focused on personalization and optimizing for profits, yeah, we're stuck in our little echo chamber. But the same technology has the potential to actually broaden our view on the world in a way that we've never seen before.

And it's a topic that I've been thinking about so much because it's not trivial. So the risk that you always have is, If, let's say, I get to see what is the newsfeed, like the Google searches of someone who has like totally different political views than I have, looks like I might actually become so appalled that I dig in my heels and even deeper, right?

So there's always the challenge that you have when you expose someone to a different worldview that you just elicit reactance. But I actually think that's something that we could also work on with technology. Because as you said, what we want is to get a holistic understanding of the person.

So I remember back, I think it was in the context of the 2016 election or 2020, I can't remember, but the Wall Street Journal had this Red Feed, Blue Feed website where they just showed side by side, here's what the news story, same topic, let's pick immigration or gun laws, looks like from a more Republican versus a more Democratic stance.

And I think, first of all, not that many people were using it. And I think what it somewhat led to was that people were like, just, oh, my God, look at how crazy the other side is. And the reason for why I think people were not as receptive is exactly as you mentioned. This is like a super abstract concept. like dehumanized way of showing it, right?
