This document discusses filter bubbles and framing, and their relationship to the self-affirming dynamics of technologies. It covers how personalized filtering can lead to issues like a decline in public discourse. It also discusses Heidegger's concept of clearing and how technologies can frame our understanding of reality in ways that become static. Local framings by media infrastructures are analyzed, with a focus on whether they allow for questioning of the framing or tend towards stagnation. The document concludes by connecting these ideas to the self-affirming nature of technologies.
