She gazed up at the enormous screen. Forty years it had taken her to see herself, reflected darkly, in the smooth opaque slate. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving light! Two monster-scented tears trickled down the sides of her nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. She had won the victory over herself.

She loved Big Data.

Using your hands to precisely operate a chunk of rock that has been carved so it can do arbitrary mathematical operations so that the operation it does is show you political propaganda made by another human so you can do your own social-political maneuvering in response is the epitome of what it means to be human.

We need to get back to the root of human evolution and provide mankind with the information they know they can trust.

We did however, evolve to see it. And say...

"Whoever is reading this, I hope you have a really awesome day! We're all trying our best with what we know, so give yourself a break. You've got this. Just one foot in front of the other."

Television... Radio... Newspapers... You can get disinformation and propaganda from wherever you want, really.

What is the specific effect happening on these last 3 lines? Does it have a name or proper definition?
