And this quote by Marcus Aurelius is both insightful and telling, especially in relation to the previous quote. The purpose of #SocialMedia algorithms is not only to force an opinion on you, but to get you worked up about it.
> [Marcus Aurelius] "You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone."
