Part of the "Plato playing CEO of Twitter" series. In this dialogue, David and Walter explore the challenges faced by social media companies to engineer a society that functions harmoniously. They discuss the concept of mediatic identity engineering, which involves determining the type of content that people should consume for society to function harmoniously. The speakers debate the idea that people's emotional responses to content may be hardwired, and therefore not subject to change through language. The conversation also highlights the current media distribution system, where a society can be divided into conservative and liberal minds, resulting in a media landscape where large platforms capture the attention of each group. However, the personalized media feeds that emerge from this system create chaos, as every individual is served a different media diet. David proposes the idea of a unifying media feed, or universal media diet, to align humanity. He suggests that Twitter's attention meritocracy could be used to achieve this goal, and proposes that Twitter's chatbot could become a powerful propaganda machine that parrots the top 10% of human intelligence. Overall, the dialogue raises important questions about the role of social media in shaping our identities and society, and challenges us to consider how we can use social media to create a harmonious future. The speakers discuss the complexities and difficulties in creating a social media platform that balances the needs of diverse individuals in a society, and offer various proposals to address these challenges.

The conversation begins with a question from the audience regarding the ultimate vision of Twitter. David, believes that the challenge of mediatic identity-engineering has been one of the biggest problems since Plato. The challenge involves determining the type of content that people should be fed for society to function harmoniously. David believes that the challenge of identity engineering is necessary to engineer people’s identities. Walter, the second speaker, argues that this idea is appalling, but David explains that the ideas people attach their ego to are a product of mediatic identity engineering. David explains that education is a process of mediatic engineering that involves changing the mind's image of the world by putting content into the human mind. Walter agrees that humans are not blank slates, but there is some logic that is hardcoded and can't be defied by language. He believes that humans are emotions and words and that emotionally, people are hardwired differently, so even if they consume and use the same words, they will behave differently. Walter explains that people pay attention to different people, languages, stories, worldviews, and value hierarchies, which is a consequence of the current media distribution system. He believes that a society could be divided into conservative minds and liberal minds, and a media landscape would naturally emerge in which one large media platform would harness the attention of the conservatives and another one the attention of the liberals. David argues that this creates a problem where people receive personalized media feeds, which means that every character in the world is served a different media diet, leading to chaos. David proposes that a unifying media feed, which he calls a universal media diet, is necessary to align humanity. He believes that Twitter's attention meritocracy could help to achieve this goal. Walter is concerned that many people might leave the platform if they lose their attention king and attention queen status. David explains that Twitter would be training its own version of ChatGPT on the top 10% of human-to-human communication on the platform, and Twitter's chatbot would essentially become a very powerful propaganda machine parroting the top 10% of human intelligence. In conclusion, the dialogue discusses the challenge of mediatic identity engineering and the need for a unifying media feed to align humanity. The conversation highlights the complexities and challenges of developing a social media platform that balances the needs of diverse individuals in a society.

While no background in philosophy is necessarily needed, the series draws as much on Plato’s Republic, Nietzsche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra or Jung’s Red Book as on the myths of Dante, William Blake or Tolkien.

Form and content are further influenced by comics, rap and 21st century cinema.

The series is hierarchically ordered and will feature a total of 8 levels.

Level 1 may be considered the optional background, the subterranean dimension, if you will, to the edifice which will be mapped out in the dialogues of Level 2 to then be raised in an exponentially cataclysmic rhythm.
