And also, it depends on what you turn off, right? You might be able to turn off the GPS. You still need to be connected to a cell tower. Otherwise, your phone doesn't work. The fact that you turn off GPS doesn't mean that you're not trackable.

Oftentimes people take it even a step further, right? Well, I'm not using social media, so nobody can really track me across the internet. It's so short-sighted because obviously you use your credit card, your smartphone, and there's CCTV on pretty much every corner. So people will find you. It's hard to escape.

It is a tiny, tiny town, so 500 people. My parents keep reminding me that it's grown to 1,000 now.

It doesn't make any difference because it still meant that everybody knew everything about me, right? Who I was dating, what I was doing on the weekend, which music I was into. And what village neighbors do best is then make inferences about who you are. They saw me running to the bus every morning. They probably figured out that I wasn't the most organized. And then it doesn't stop there.

Village neighbors are not just there to poke around in your life and your psychology. They then try to meddle with your life. They are not really trying to figure out who you're dating. They want to influence who you're dating. And sometimes that's really helpful because they know you and you get this feeling of there's someone who truly understands me.

And when they have my best interest at heart, they're going to give the best advice that I can possibly get. But also oftentimes it felt a lot more manipulative behind my back without me necessarily having control or appreciating the support that I was getting in any way.

It's so idiosyncratic. It's actually what I find fascinating about the shift to the online world is we're doing it a lot more systematically. So your neighbors, they had their own biases. They had their own perspective on the world. And they were filtering all of the data that came in through their own lens and their own incentives. Algorithms don't have the same incentives.

They essentially do whatever you tell them to do. They optimize for the goal that you set for them. So the way that I've been thinking about essentially that we live in this digital village where algorithms now replace our neighbor. with essentially a digital neighbor who takes all of the data traces and makes the same predictions.
