Corporate Data Mining is the Apotheosis of Neoliberalism

The world wars were the culmination of the transition from rural/agrarian life to industrial mass society. All people could think to do with themselves and their new means of organizing was to murder and die on a mass scale. The post war years seem like a transition to a saner time, at least a time where the insanity of mass warfare became impossible or totally irrational, thanks to nukes.

The past several decades of "neoliberalism", which really just means government run by corporations and banks, has culminated in server farms and data mining, which is just bureaucratic infrastructure. It effectually creates a giant echo chamber for corporate douchebags. It's like the MBA church.
