Facebook is about news, in a weird way
- Each bit of news potentially fires up a moral parade, where people recite prepared speeches.
- Often the speeches begin explaining how what someone said is like this other thing, then basically recites a canned story about that thing.
- You could give each story a number, and just type the number. The computer (Facebook) could then get the text and insert it into the comment for you. Discourse could happen much faster.
- Eventually Facebook could predict what you'll say and just say it for you. Like the self-driving cars Google is making. You'd sign onto Facebook and see in your notification drop down menu "You have commented on Betsy Guernsey's post."
- You could read it if you like, but eventually you will know that Facebook correctly stated your opinion.
