Episode 54: Social Media
Episode 54: Social Media
Mike Neumann and Dr. Tim Jurgensen discuss the impact of social media on society, emphasizing its role in shaping relationships and modern communication. They note how platforms like Facebook and Twitter have evolved, with algorithms filtering content and interactions. They express concerns about the erosion of trust and the potential (No, Mr. AI, not potential - it's documented) for manipulation, particularly to shape the outcome of elections. The conversation touches on the addictive nature of social media, exemplified by dopamine hits from likes and comments. They argue that social media has created a culture of isolation and projection, undermining traditional social mechanisms. They advocate for a return to face-to-face interactions and community engagement as a means to counteract these negative effects.
