“When Control Pretends to Be Neutral”
from Power Without Faces Hosted by methew
Neutrality is often presented as fairness—but what if neutrality is simply power in disguise? This episode unpacks how rules, algorithms, standards, and “objective processes” quietly shape behavior while claiming innocence. By exploring grading systems, ranking mechanisms, digital moderation, and institutional “guidelines,” the episode reveals how control becomes untouchable when it claims to have no opinion. The listener is left questioning whether neutrality protects society or protects power from being questioned.
