  • S2 E11: The Intersection of Technology and Conspiracies

    S2 E11: The Intersection of Technology and Conspiracies
    Jan 24 2022

    Now that we’re into the long-tail adoption of the internet, how does technology influence how we interact with information related to conspiracies? Can AI get better at locating radicalizing content? At what point should speech be censored?

    Is there a conspiracy that you believe in, or something you believe in so much that your mind could not be changed no matter how much evidence to the contrary? Is this something we can know about ourselves?

    Rob thinks humanity is doomed, but he may be swayed.

    Things That Blew Us Away

    Rob: Wishcycling is when people try to recycle something that cannot be recycled.

    Christen: Nermal (Nims) Purja climbs 14 of the tallest peaks in the world in under six months. Check out the documentary, 14 Peaks, on Netflix.
