You’re right that echo chambers are unavoidable, but dismissing balance as chaos ignores the nuance. The current system already feeds division, so why not explore tools that nudge users toward diverse perspectives without forcing them? Autonomy doesn’t have to mean isolation—it can coexist with thoughtful design that fosters understanding instead of entrenching biases.
Rejecting balance outright feels like surrendering to the status quo.

The German tourist was traveling under an ESTA visa waiver, which explicitly prohibits employment in the U.S. While there’s no conclusive evidence she worked illegally, ICE may have suspected a violation.
However, even if such a suspicion were valid, her treatment—being detained for over a month and spending nine days in solitary confinement—was grossly disproportionate and violated both CBP’s 72-hour detention limit and international standards for humane treatment.
For your wife’s situation, following visa rules and carrying proper documentation is crucial, but the system’s unpredictability—especially for non-white foreigners—remains a valid concern. Vigilance is essential to navigate these flawed processes.

Solitary confinement for visa issues? Kafka would be proud of this dystopian absurdity.

Isolationism won't make America safer, just lonelier on the global stage.
