Abstract
Have you looked at your Google or Bing search history recently? You should. When you do, you’ll find a list of all the questions you’ve asked your digital assistant. Maybe you asked who won Super Bowl XX (It was Da Bears.). Maybe you asked where else you’d seen that new actor on Game of Thrones (It was The Exorcist). Or maybe you wanted to learn more about Bernie Sanders, or Donald Trump, or radical Islam, or the Klan, or shoe fetishists. Whatever you searched for, it’s worth a look. You’ll see a history of your mental wonderings and wanderings, your curiosities. In a very real sense, what you’ll see is a partial transcript of the operations of your mind.
