Hi Bruce

You ask: Starr*, do you have an article that shows how your search results are affected by previous searches -- or other things you may have clicked (on Facebook, or wherever)? I have not seen anything that says this -- though I can see how it could be true. I almost always use Google -- and they do know a lot about me -- I use the Chrome browser -- which signs me into Google anywhere I go. But I live with that -- and I am not aware that they are limiting search results. If I am simply naive, let me know.

Starr*: The Search Bubble has been in effect for over five or six years now - and I tell you - it really cuts down on the variety of information each person gets. So if your 'bubble' shows you read a certain slant on information then you get *your kind of slant* on any topic. So people have NOT received rounded information about anything they are talking with each other about - but think they know the *truth* when they know VERY little.

I can tell you that when I came out with the Tahirih Proofs and Information - the BIA (Baha'i Internet Affiliates) - was quick to marginalize that information. I do have all the links saved - although they have been sanitized from most searches. This is standard operation.

FILTER BUBBLES

Qutoe re Search Bubbles:

A filter bubble is a result of a personalized search in which a website algorithm selectively guesses what information a user would like to see based on information about the user (such as location, past click behavior and search history) and, as a result, users become separated from information that disagrees with their viewpoints, effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles. Prime examples are Google Personalized Search results and Facebook's personalized news stream. The term was coined by internet activist Eli Pariser in his book by the same name; according to Pariser, users get less exposure to conflicting viewpoints and are isolated intellectually in their own informational bubble. Pariser related an example in which one user searched Google for "BP" and got investment news about British Petroleum while another searcher got information about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and that the two search results pages were "strikingly different".[1][2][3][4] The bubble effect may have negative implications for civic discourse, according to Pariser, but there are contrasting views suggesting the effect is minimal[4] and addressable.[5]"

Starr*: The Duality of personality is fading into Oneness - a Oneness that is Whole in relation to the Absolute Source. Those that live in the shadows, will remain in duality while they choose to live there - and thus are not in the ever-evolving category.

CREATE THE EVOLVING CATEGORY AND

THEN THERE CAN BE CATCH-UP FOR THOSE INTERESTED SO AS TO BE INCLUSIVE.

First one has to accept the old system is failing so as not to put energy into bolstering it up. Sure - keep the positives when possible but let the system evolve for the needs of the Day - according to the Light coming - evolving consciousness.

Like Gerald Dillenbeck and Myself have stated here, we think that Buckminster Fuller has good direction in suggesting that we should create an ALTERNATIVE MODEL to the one that is fading.

Gerald quote: Buckminister Fuller said both that the best way to optimize abundance is to minimize loss; and that the most abundant way to minimize a system that no longer operatives efficiently and effectively and inclusively, is to go out and create an alternative system. So, our best opportunity to achieve the ecological balance we long for is to belong to, invest in, immerse our cooperative mindfulness in gratitude and compassion for each other's personal and vocational resources and liabilities today. Or so it would seem.

With Best Intentions for an Ever-Evolving Conscious and the Environment that nurtures that aim,

Living Love, Starr*
