Prof G on misinformation in our society

[lisabluecurls]

SG holds some of the clearest, best informed conversations about the issues and problems we're all confronted. He doesnt pretend to have all the answers.

Ahhh... The power and danger of misinformation. Great insight. 👍

[McDjurhuus]

Great little thought from you again. The problem with this at its core is that we have so many actors joining all these societal debates, who are not seeking any form of truth, because they have other motives, be it money, fame or other.

Algorithmic radicalization is a thing, friends. Keep critical!

[ralphy]

Talk to the legacy media bro, they're the ones who don't want a robust debate or on going dialogue.

100% I’ve been saying social media will be the downfall of our society.

Like any tool, there are great things about it too. The Wild West of the old internet was not like this because it didn’t target consumers and feed them an endless supply of the same type of content. You still had to go look for things yourself and we weren’t targeted by endless new advertisers and content creators.

How can someone be so intelligent, yet ignorant at the same time?

[twizzlestix]

Isn’t the problem the platforms that allow people to so easily target people. Facebook, instagram, twitter, TikTok, Reddit. They are all toxic and YouTube isn’t too far off either.

Its been going on since 9/11 (maybe even earlier) but its more in your face now, more potent and on some level.. more sinister

Cambridge analytica. The irony with conspiracy theorists is they miss the real conspiracies.

[andrewthomas]

Bummer. But money is America's God. And if we have to feed off our own children, then I guess that's what'll happen. Just like we do re: Student debt. 💸💸💸

[LocoMenteClaraOne]

I subscribed then unsubscribed real quick once I saw that this dude's a schill pushing misinformation himself

[sleekblackroadster]

Capitalism in this form incentivizes narcissists
