How social media distorts our perceptions Our information diet is shaped by a tiny sliver of humanity whose job, identity, or obsession is to post constantly

Our information diet is shaped by a tiny sliver of humanity whose job, identity, or obsession is to post constantly

Consuming too much of this diet can distort our perceptions, manipulate our emotions, and fuel intergroup conflict

Former regular listener here. I find it hard to find a reason to listen to your nonsense now. A rapid decline in standards - so disappointing

“Even the smallest contribution made towards a clearer understanding of one’s own position or that of one’s opponent – is a great success. A discussion which you win but which fails to help you to change or to clarify your mind at least a little should be regarded as a sheer loss” (Popper, 1994).
