We've seen many discussions around the decreasing quality of Google in the past week.
Back in 1998, Sergey Brin and Larry Page published a research paper that perfectly summarizes the conflict of interest between advertisers and search engines:

Another interesting paragraph talks about search engine bias: Image

The 90-9-1 principle is fascinating:
Within an internet community, 90% of participants only consume content (lurkers), 9% edit or modify content, and only 1% add content.

Users who actively post/comment/vote have an amplified effect on what the 90% see 👇 Image
The reversed interpretation is also interesting: The web has a multiplying function.
For everything created, there are 10 people expressing an opinion and 100 people reading it.
Lowering the barriers to entry can be a great strategy for a product to get more data and traction.

On Reddit or HN, it takes very little effort to "contribute", which means a lot more data to determine which content is the best.

How to live a stoic life?
A great beginning technique is negative visualization:
🤔You think about things in your life that you rely on e.g. people, job, health.
❌ Imagine that you don't have the thing that you take for granted

👇Here's a concrete way to put this into action:
1/ Something we take for granted is our eyesight.
😑Close your eyes
👀Imagine that's all you would ever see
🚫Imagine that if you attempt to open them that they are somehow glued shut. You can never open them again.
🧘‍♂️Let that soak in
🤩Now open those eyes and take a look.
2/ Isn't that incredible? And yet, two minutes ago, it was something you took utterly for granted.
🙏Your life is full of things like that (walking, breathing, family, job)
▶️Give it a try yourself and see how thinking of the worst-case scenarios can actually empower you
