And I think we know that citizen action can actually motivate government regulation. We've seen that in the past. We've seen citizens get organized, it's resulted in marriage equality in many countries, for example, we're seeing it in terms of the environment. Citizens who listen to the science get organized and motivate their governments to make change. We know that it can work. And it's more of a long term solution. The short term thing is just as individuals, you need to also protect your own privacy. Think about your children and not exposing them too much to those advertising platforms and just making small changes in our own

So if you look at intelligence tests that were administered 100 years ago, the average scores are much lower than today. And what the intelligence tests are generally measuring is people's ability to synthesize complexity and deal with complexity. And as the world becomes more and more complex, on average, people get better at dealing with complexity. And so that trend would be a hopeful trend as things get more complex, we do get better dealing with that complexity. And so maybe in another 100 years, we'll be that much more intelligent, more capable of handling this complexity. And we won't necessarily see the same kind of outcomes.

The only problem is the nefarious actors will be that much more sophisticated too.
