Covid 19 might be the game changer here. Suddenly everybody wants to know something that's happening inside my body, whether i'm sick or not. Machine learning systems have been better at reading micro expressions than humans are. So as you watch a net flix film, you know the actors are reacting to you in real time.

Yuval Noah Harari is one of the rare historians who can give us a two-million-year perspective on today’s headlines.
