==Transcript== {{Computertranscript}} :[Describe panel here] :Have you noticed that every form of media now tries to start by convincing you that you'll have your mind blown, but then it doesn't actually blow your mind? :Yeah, that's called media carcinization. :Carcinization is when natural selection causes all body plans to converge toward being a crab. In media, human selection causes all information presentations to converge toward "you will not believe this moderately interesting thing." :1 :"you will not believe that french fries are good with a large amount of cheese." "you will not believe that this well-known law from physics continues to operate." "you will not believe that sometimes you can see the outline of a nipple in sports photos." :Scientists, entertainers mathematicians, artists, philosophers. Everyone wants to just share their work. But most of the audience only clicks the button when media approach the ideal form. So they change. :Find a performer you like, then check in with them five years later and they are carcinized to have a hard outer shell of anticipation with a squishy core of disappointment. :Why? Blame the algorithm all you like, but the truth is that it's the inevitable result of natural selection by billions of apes at keyboards all wanting to access privileged information without expending any effort. :I. No, I don't buy it. You assume humans are just stimulus-response machines who can't recognize when they're being manipulated. :Wanna have sex. :I never do on a first date :Okay but I do this one weird trick. :Son of a bitch. :Caption: smbc-comics.com
