Principlev1

Replace algorithmically curated feeds with deliberately

Replace algorithmically curated feeds with deliberately selected information sources, because algorithmic curation optimizes for engagement rather than accuracy and systematically filters input to maximize emotional reactivity.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Perception as Predictive Construction (perception is predictive construction), Goals as Perceptual Filters (goals determine relevance), Brain as Hierarchical Prediction Machine (predictive processing), and Automatic Pattern Perception (automatic pattern generation subject to confirmation bias). Prescribes structural replacement of input sources. This is principle-level because it's general and actionable across platforms, not rule-level about specific tools.
