It's on Fountain if you're not the video type: https://fountain.fm/episode/qXPDqSn3AJnjabKexuXh
It actually helps a bunch of you do listen / watch on youtube as that's the only place there are public viewer numbers.
This conversation was really fun. Not the least of which was i got to interview of the the social media influencers my kids like. He's somebody who both is successful on big social platforms and really understands the problems with they way they're shaping culture, politics, and the economy.

Watching on Youtube "helps".... the algorithm? ;)
Really enjoyed the conversation. In particular, the historical observation that opposition to the printing press, aside from the "usual suspects" of the Church losing its monopoly on information transmission, came from the idea that the printed word disrupted more "organic" forms of social information transmission. As in, people you trusted at the market, family members etc who said that there was a plague two villages over... Vs. "some pamphlet" written by some author you've never met.
Today, this is being inverted, at least by the Right. "Trust the science", consisting of data written down and transmitted by far-off authority sources, is replaced by "trust your neighbor" or "trust your influencer".... I.e. the social graph vs more hierarchical authority sources.
Also as something of a counterpoint I wanted to post this video from Reason debating the idea of whether traditional centralized social media is "good", "bad", or simply a neutral "town square." I think there are a lot of people who truly believe that the latter is true.
