Algorithms, Society, and the Texas Spirit

This chapter explores the influence of algorithms on public discourse and the complexities of human behavior within societal structures. The conversation shifts from the allure of pimple popping videos and critiques of film to discussions about violence, gun ownership, and the invasive feral hog population in Texas. Through humor and personal anecdotes, the speakers reflect on the resilience and unique culture of Texas, intertwining themes of criticism, authority, and community survival.
