Really liked this essay as it is thought-provoking. Interesting how social media is affecting design. Also one thought I have in response to filter is that, in a sense, filters have always been with us down the ages: artists and writers have always presented the world to us through a filter. Today, tech has democratized filters, and everyone carries one with them. But, the filters are no longer unique to the user, as everyone has the same set of filters. (Artists and writers, of course, have their unique filters, and hopefully what they filter will still be seen by the rest of us.)
This is a great way of thinking about it! We should all be trying to cultivate our own unique filters rather than accepting those that are handed to us and which everyone else uses.
