        "description": "Not Mind Control is the media delivery infrastructure that absolutely does not influence your beliefs, preferences, purchasing decisions, political affiliations, relationship status, dietary choices, or the specific half-black-framed glasses you suddenly feel like buying. It is an algorithm. Algorithms do not have agendas. The algorithm simply noticed what you were looking at and showed you more of it until you were a completely different person who votes differently and owns a lot of candles. This happened naturally. The celebrities with the glasses are just wearing glasses. The glasses are a fashion choice that many people are independently making at the same time for reasons that have nothing to do with each other or with you. Abracadabra. You are now a nationalist. You got here yourself. Not Mind Control was not involved and has the data to prove it, which it will not be sharing with you, but which it has."

    "problem": "The menu said it was a delicacy.",
    "description": "Monkey Brains is a premium experiential dining intangible served at the restaurant level of the MTREES mall ecosystem, classified as a delicacy by the menu and by no other governing body that has weighed in on the matter. The dish is presented in the traditional vessel, which is the skull, which is on the table, which the server describes as 'rustic.' Consumption produces a statistically significant shift in the consumer's ideological coordinates, brand affiliations, and preferred news sources, none of which the restaurant discloses prior to seating. The shift is not coercive. The shift is culinary. These are legally distinct categories and the distinction is noted in the reservation confirmation email in a font size the legal team selected and the design team did not push back on. Flavor profile is described on the menu as 'complex, terroir-forward, and finishing long.' The finish is very long. Diners who finish the dish report a strong conviction that they arrived at their new beliefs independently, through research, which they feel good about. The dish pairs well with a domestic lager and a 24-hour news cycle. It does not pair with silence. Silence is not on the menu. The restaurant is aware that monkey brains extend not mind control. The restaurant considers this a selling point.",
