In the modern world, our castles are coded and our kings are unseen. Platforms and algorithms have become the new feudal lords — shaping our conversations, filtering our perceptions, and deciding what reality looks like. In this episode, George Monty explores the architecture of digital power, the psychology of algorithmic influence, and the human cost of life inside these invisible kingdoms.
In this episode:
- How algorithms quietly engineer behavior and emotion
- The psychology of control and dependency in digital spaces
- Why social platforms mirror medieval hierarchies
- The illusion of choice in algorithmic design
- Strategies for reclaiming digital sovereignty and awareness

No real change, different presidents, Deserts and oceans change.
You can see a, a forest being clear. Cut. That's changed. How about moving from one town to another? That's changed. How about your environment? Let's just kind of expand it out a little bit. The environment in which you live is changing, right? I'm sure you can think of multiple ways of change, but have you thought about this?
