This pretty much sums it up for the autonomous vehicles hype. Heard an expert on Dutch radio say that what social media are basically doing, is hack our brain. Sounds ominous, doesn’t it? But she isn’t too far off, if you consider that many have caged

themselves in with all sorts of preconceived notions, fed to them by social media platforms. There has never been such a powerful ‘invasive organism’ since totalitarian states. Social media now do the thinking for people, confirm them in their beliefs, whilst giving the illusion of freedom of choice. Perhaps everybody should reconsider what life is all about — live your life, or upload it into the Matrix? Life is not about being comfie, but about making sense. Still a lot of issues out there that need solving.
