Very interesting study. As ex apple user I do not feel any emotions about any brand news. I use android because I have free Spotify TH-cam and even apple music 😅(all premium). I was attacked by apple users who were advertising their toys and they really think that they are a part of some kind of privileged group. One Philipino worker said to me that he has iPhone because he can afford it. Now I tell everyone who advertising iPhones that I can not afford it 😂. It's a cult, nothing more, nothing less. They are convinced that I am loosing something by not owning an iPhone. This is silly world we live in...

MEDIA DOES NOT DIVIDE US!!! WE ARE ENRAGED TO FIND THAT THE RIGHT WING *DESPISES* EDUCATION, EVIDENCE AND FACT. FUCK YOU LIARS.

Beautiful, Beautiful Presentation!

Fascinating Leslie. Thank you for sharing.

These interviews are so well done. This channel really should be promoted more and have a lot more subscribers and viewers!

If you've been on TH-cam long enough, you may have noticed that censorship is very active. Some comments and even likes get deleted without notification to the author. Making it mandatory for TH-cam to reveal these deletions, both to the author and to other viewers, might be an improvement. Then again, bots don't buy products, but that doesn't seem to bother even the advertisers.

Driving, you passed along, passed along the Sexy people. The Sexy people can get a drivers license without without doing the driving test in San Antonio.

How much is psychological targeting being used on the marked ?

Good point. If you set its objective to make coffee, then the machine, being intelligent, makes sure that it fulfills that objective. However, before it's able to accomplish such an objective, somebody (maybe you also) tries to switch it off, then it will prevent it from being switched off -- because how else can it fulfill its objective (of making coffee) if it is "dead"?

What if things are just worse? Like fair enough feed recommendation algorithms nest nicely into our simulation seeking centres... but what if things are just bad and it's actually external factors that are causing outrage. It's difficult to tell which politics represents you because each party mirrors the other in some way, through reaction or assimilation of policies. Isn't it kind of biased to suggest that an abstract notion of centrism is better. Isn't the question about the death of large parts of the opposition bad because it doesn't give the option not to kill people? I think this is biased towards centrism...

Fr, I feel like society is just quietly, slowly falling apart

Wondering who did the interview because there is the myth "Would a shift from advertising to subscription based service help". John dear tractors cost hundred of thousands of dollars and you still are the product of it even paying for it. The tractors still sell your data to seed companies and others. Even Iphones have been found to do the same for them-self's - blocking data for Meta (Facebook) but using data for their own purposes.

If a car of a food did so much damage to society and individuals, there would be massive class action lawsuits. Maybe that is what is needed to actuate change. Psychological assault should be legally treated same as physical assault - punishable. Someone making a fortune on others' injury is despicable.

Social media is just commentary on corporate media. Why is the division then caused by social media?

Psychology of technology 😂😂😂😂

Man this boring af

RUBBISH. POOP. THE INTERWEBS JUST REVEALED THE SPECTACLE THAT WAS ALREADY THERE. DUH.

explain the Democrats leaving the Democrat Party and going to the Republican Party ... according to your "idea" of Social Media "BS". If someone is paying for internet access and Social Media - I pay for phone service, but the phone company doesn't stop me from "bad" calls. Why does the Internet, from whom we pay to get in, want to suspend, cancel or mess up our calls ? -- There are two problems with your theories, 1.( California BS is still BS and 2.( Democrats ARE Communists and Communists are Democrats. Republicans [in theory] are Republicans by the Constitution ... any mislabeling is complete BS. So take your California BS and stuff it where the sun don't shine.

Super good video, writing my speech on this 😅

thank you ima pass my final essay with this video

Where can I find a link to the game? Thank you

I like listening to this guy, wish he taught at UBCO

Thank you Adam 👍👍👍

Problem is I didnt come from an ape or any other primate. If you think this is true you are crazy. Why has no other animal morphed into something close to what you consider you? We know there are animals smarter than primates.

I think the solutions are fairly bad, since they could easily be used to stifle dissenting opinions. There are far worse things than polarisation which could occur. These solutions proposes, I.D.s, further moderating content, and trying to manipulate the user through selecting what they are exposed to will not work. The assumption is that tech companies are good actors. They are not. Even if they were, why should we trust that to be an indefinite situation?

Am I the only one creeped out by Sandra Matz?

A black woman using AI quick email replies won't get her over anything. It perpetuates bias at best. And, she would be perceived as cold, or even lesbian/not feminine too, so that was a dumb assumption lol. Plus a white male is not equal as being the voice of trust, it just imposed himself more often throughout periods and systems. Lolol. In general there wasn't a lot of insight or conclusions reached through this meeting and this point was the only one worth mentioning

They're living through social media. Modern social media (post MySpace and MSN Messenger mostly) has come across normal, everyday interactions and everything gets stored and registered. People don't have an option anymore. Nobody does or lives as they used to. They are forced to socialize and live through it and therefore privacy gets sold in exchange for having a social life altogether!

Very interesting presentation and findings. Thanks for sharing! Really good insights

Hummmm..... Three years ago uploaded... I assume this was before January 2020. It didn't take deep fake to make folks mistrust the media. I just discovered him today and really enjoyed his discussion of psychopaths.

about the only thing I didn't like about the video essay was the underlying suggestive narrative that we evolved from apes..it kept coming up over and over again and is in itself a very polarizing topic thereby undermining the effectiveness of the essay in the first place.. All that was required was to stick to the core issue so that the "polarized" from either side would be more inclined to watch..

physofrantics are the wildcard.

Adam and Larry's book "The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High-Tech World", is very good. Thank you.

Best way ? 1. Delete all social media 2. Keep personal chat boxes and messages where "social" elements are non-existent, and only texting, calling and video calling exists. 3. Avoid "consuming" information - take it as a leisure. Go back to the 90s - Internet should be a break from the real life for some time, not the other way around. 4. Walk among people, talk to them and know the ground realities than to succumb to echo chambers. Know what is *really* going on, all sides of the argument, and take time to formulate an opinion for your own self. 5. If you can help it, ask yourself, "Does this comment, post, message, or video add any fruitful to this particular event or phenomena?" If the answer is no, delete it and let it go. Its not worth loosing your sleep over it.

A wonderful video! Thank you for putting this together,

and sbeve jobs

The older you get, the more you reflect on how news media used to be consumed, the more obvious this problem becomes. So much so that now, no matter which station or talking head you pick it is glaringly obvious which side of the false narrative they promote. My fear is that young people only know what we have now and don't remember a time where debate was (civil/rational).

Very eye-opening

Very high quality video that introduce basically everything I want

These are all GREAT suggestions that will never happen. Mainly because it implies profit will have to come second to human well being. That almost never happens until it's too late.

This is honestly a very well-organized video with consistent taking points. I think that the mindset while on social media is the most significant favor to what causes polarization. We naturally have confirmation bias, after all.

The quality content I need right now, deserving of more views

This is such a great short film of good quality. Can't believe that it has only 30k views.

Great video :)

I just decided to not have any social media accounts at all, and dumped FB back in 2011. I've not missed it one bit. I also threw out the TV 22 years ago, and I don't miss that either.

I believe we need to covertly educate certain older (and others who need it) generations on how to consciously consume information from social media. Also, educate them on the types of literacy that will help hopefully decrease negativity and be proactive around critical thinking/reflection and as a result find common ground and move forward as a nation/world. I dislike individuals who are exploiting off of American citizen's ignorance of unconsciously believing their educated and smart enough to not be tricked by evil hurtful people. I'm a burnt out teacher and for the past 3 years I've been stubbornly trying to provide my parents and family with helpful resources of information that will help them realize what they watch and if the tv people are straight up lying or just trying to express their own opinions and agendas. My parents adamantly tell me that I'm telling I'm what to think and belief and not listening to their own thoughts and beliefs. I've lived with them for 30 years and I pretty much have an internal life script ingrained in my head regarding my parents position on politics and society. Also, my parents have a difficult time following my train of thought and how all the topics I'm throwing at them are entangled into one another. In other words, I like to state my belief, give background as too how we got here and offer solutions to our urgent current topics. I'm trying to show them how to think for themselves and why expressing and sharing their opinions on topics are important to help other understand. When I research their often outdated and personal beliefs about politics and politicians they will quickly turn defensive and always states that I think I'm a know it all because I went to college and enjoy learning. We are getting to a point where our relationship might have to end and we move forward to living our "ideal" versions of what life is. They have a hard time differentiating between what to think, how to think and why to think that.

They failed to mention that SM sites delete opinions of certain beliefs no matter how fairly phrased.
