“I'm not sure what cyberpunk catechism means. It's making me think of the late-cap mediums being embedded with hermeneutics-of-suspicion trigger mechanisms. Is that what she means? Is she randomly talking about how the late-cap mediums made one want to search until they confirmed some sort of bias. Do you catch my westerlies? I don't know if I am expressing this very well. I mean that the mediums no longer informed or entertained like the mediums of yore. The mediums of late-cap only appeared to inform or entertain. Underneath the surface, one found that the mediums were built to make one say, “Aha! So that is what other people are like!”
