Thank you for this message Andy - i cant express how much it resonated with how i had been feeling about the modern life. Thank you for expanding my knowledge and thinking around this - so grateful.
For a moment I didn't agree with the setup of Siri as an illusion of personalization, and I think it's because I don't use it. I thought, "surely people don't actually think of talking to Siri as a substitute for real human relationship." But then I thought about people I know who call out to Siri or Alexa for different tips all the time; who laugh as they find out the right question that gives it a quippy comeback or a silly joke; even the noticeable shift from describing "it" to describing "her" - and I had to agree. I do still have a little hesitation to connect so much with ancient ways of being painted as a great thing to return to or emulate, but I get what Crouch is going for.

Crouch sees the POINT! "Please reintroduce personhood." (853 views only, only 1 comment. ... Why?)

Weird comment. This isn't even close to the government owning the means of production.
