um and one of the issues is that media
06:12
has become like hyper-specialized
06:14
and so with the way algorithms are set
06:18
up on social media
06:19
you’re exposed to a very specific bias
06:23
based on what you’ve read and what
06:24
you’ve been interested in watching
06:27
those algorithms learn your behavior and
06:29
then they just like continue spitting
06:30
out
06:31
like content that reinforces what you
06:34
already believe so your
06:36
your own views never get challenged
06:39
unless you make a
06:40
real effort uh to listen to perspectives
06:43
that differ from your own
06:44
that’s why even now even though it makes
06:47
me sick every time i do this
06:49
i i make an effort to hear what
06:51
conservatives are saying what are their
06:52
arguments
06:53
and it’s good to know what their
06:54
arguments are because very rarely they
06:57
might have a point but that’s rare
06:59
honestly and you should investigate what
07:01
they’re saying because they might have a
07:02
good point
07:03
but more often than not in the process
07:05
of investigating
07:06
what their claims are you became you
07:09
become better prepared
07:11
to uh support and defend where you stand
07:14
on the issues
07:15
but here’s the thing like most americans
07:17
don’t have time for that and and
07:19
there needs to be a real discussion
07:20
about uh media literacy media
07:23
uh consumption i don’t even know how to
07:26
tackle it at this point uh because there
07:28
are moneyed interests that play a huge
07:29
role in how
07:31
social media operates so i think that’s
07:33
a huge problem
07:34
and yeah i think that there’s like this
07:36
culture on the right of
07:38
owning the libs while they’re really
07:40
just owning themselves they’re finding
07:41
themselves in terrible economic crises
07:44
uh you know they’re seeing their own
07:46
family members die from a virus that
07:48
they did not need to die from
07:50
and it’s all because of you know their
07:53
avid support for someone who does not
07:55
care about them never has and never will
07:58
want to win a free electric scooter
07:59
while our partners at aspiration
08:01
and zoom electric are making it possible
