Filter bubble: state of intellectual isolation that
allegedly can result from personalized searches when
a website algorithm selectively guesses what
information a user would like to see based on
information about the user, such as location, past
click-behavior and search history. As a result, users
become separated from information that disagrees
with their viewpoints, effectively isolating them in
their own cultural or ideological bubbles.

« How can you change the institutions that were designed in a vertical way in a physical
world, given today we live in a digital horizontal world? How can you as a politician in an
institution that takes years to decide on a new law to basically do it in a way that when
it's done, there's an [direct] effect on people? ... when it's done three years down the road
[as it is today], technology is already ten times ahead ... so how do you move that? You
have to really go to the deep root cause which is that institutions were not designed to
basically live in the world we live in ... If we are able as politicians to tackle that, to use
technology to change the institutions, then we can solve the problem. But today, we try to
solve the problem without changing the root cause, without changing how institutions
work. And so, it's these kinds of tensions between the institutions and the world that are
creating the divide ... Look at regulation in a way that people participate because people
don't want politicians anymore that have a vision and want to tell you what the
future will be and tell you "come with me". People want to co-design that future with
you as a politician, and so how do you do that? That's the big challenge. »

« Whether you like it or not, the global economy is the
big ocean we can’t escape from. Any attempt to stop
capital flows, technologies, products, industries and the
moves of people between economies in order to bring
back ocean waters into remote lakes and streams is
simply not possible and a reversal of history. »
