“But what happens next is worse: context creep. Those who’re most offended by this initial post want to share it with others, and in doing so they inject it with their own editorial bent. Something that was already taken out of its original context is now placed in an entirely new one.”
Tobias Rose-Stockwell, Outrage Machine: How Tech Amplifies Discontent, Disrupts Democracy—And What We Can Do About It

Morgan  Parker
“The biggest shame, our biggest shame, is that—as a child doing a simple homework assignment, or on a field trip, receiving hugs in a civil rights exhibit—I so easily internalized my nation’s wreckage. That because my sociocultural introduction to myself was framed by sorrow and inadequacy, I felt those things to be both my history and destiny. I internalized the obligation of apologizing, repenting, making up for myself. These were hard tasks to confront, as I did not know what I was apologizing for.”
Morgan Parker, You Get What You Pay For: Essays

“What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it. —Herbert Simon, Designing Organization for an Information Rich World”
Tobias Rose-Stockwell, Outrage Machine: How Tech Amplifies Discontent, Disrupts Democracy—And What We Can Do About It

“These trigger-chains of moral retribution are beneficial to each of the propagators: They’re financially beneficial to news organizations, which can ensure ad clicks on a trending story. They are beneficial to the platforms that keep us cringing at Bob’s fate, because they keep us glued to our feeds. They’re beneficial for individual users who reshare the post, who increase their follower count and burnish their reputations.”
Tobias Rose-Stockwell, Outrage Machine: How Tech Amplifies Discontent, Disrupts Democracy—And What We Can Do About It

“We understand the quantitative through the qualitative.”
Meredith Broussard, More than a Glitch: Confronting Race, Gender, and Ability Bias in Tech
