Social Media is Manipulating You

In this episode, we riff on some of the biggest ideas shaping the way we think, behave, and make decisions, and see where the conversation takes us. We dig into the manipulative side of social media, how constant exposure to other people's opinions can lower our standards, and why it's important to understand why you believe what you believe. We also explore the real-life consequences of spending too much time online, why you can't win an argument with the internet, and the idea that you ultimately get what you choose.
