No circuit breakers on the feedback loops.

The signals our brains pick out of the noise are what most readily resonates and synchronizes with our prior views. So it becomes a feedback loop.

As the old saying goes, feed the wolf and it grows bigger.

So basically, as individual organisms, we are our own rabbit holes, echo chambers.

Yet we live in that larger reality of multitudes of other such viewpoints. While we naturally bond to those on similar wavelengths, the overall effect across infinity is balance, so there will always be others on the opposite polarity of our group think. So it's this tension and feedback between the synchronization and the harmonization.

Think galaxies; The structure coalesces in, as the energy radiates out. We are in this tight little thermodynamic feedback loop between the anarchies of desire, driving us on, versus the tyrannies of judgement, sorting the path.

The centrifugal and centripetal forces in every society. Aka, liberals and conservatives.
