This is not advertising / soliciting etc.; this is about the freedom, and the illusion of choice.
If you don't like to read the whole thing, read this:

Yeah ok that search engine will be useful in certain situations. But isn't that bubble thing a bit paranoic? It's obvious that the search is more efficient if you're automatically searching in your field of interest.

And that thing with the pages is really stupid imo. Ofc lower-ranking websites will be at the end of the search. The same goes with natural selection in nature, survival of the fittest. This is a universal rule, it's not an 'illusion' of free choice.

I'll play it safe, and I'll say: "I don't know".

Regarding the tv, I totally agree with you. That's why I don't watch tv. Actually right now I don't have a tv in my small flat where I'm living so I haven't watched tv since I came back here (1 month). And the thing with the search engines has a point but it's pretty far fetched and paranoic. Tv sux.
