Is Gmail hiding Bernie’s emails to you? How inbox filtering may impact democracy.

Technology?
O.M.G. Technology!
We live in the thrall of technology. ‘Shiny Things’, that deliver 'squirrel’ interruptions into our daily lives. Nothing wrong with that, with all the usual caveats that we read about. BUT …
“ OMG - Technology … all

… it’s an old headline that came to mind when I saw this from Gaping Void.

Reflections on Reflections
I have been reflecting on the pillars of People First. Each pillar has at least one reflection that throws new light on something we might have thought we understood, but on reflection we might conclude that 'common wisdom' should be questioned.
Reflections of any subject aren't exactly true to the original. Sometimes distorted. Occasionally murky. Always the opposite of what we perceive as reality. Yet they are valid representations of reality.
Always revealing differences. Often adding new facets. To know the reflection is to understand the subject.
This is a living post and will be updated as reflections are added to the canon.
| Pillar | Reflection |
| Identity | ID - Entity |
| Data | Data? Data Is Energy! |
| Technology | Technology? OMG - Technology |
