Social Shaming

I think a lot of the societal breakdown we are seeing is a matter of human psychology -- designed for pre-historical humans by evolution -- running up against technology that it can’t handle and goes kindof crazy trying to confront.

-This is probably why social media is so harmful for teenagers -- social dynamics on steroids that you can’t ever really win

-Also talked about this a lot with bubbling behavior and learning things from people who look like me rather than people who seem smart

-I think one form - social shaming - is leading to an unintended acceleration of radicalization
