#57 The Phone Is the Weapon: How Algorithms Divide Us

In this episode, H. Daniel Mujahid and Dave Kelsey argue that smartphones and unseen algorithms are driving social division, stoking anger, and amplifying violence by manipulating what we see and believe.

They call for awareness and small communal actions—like a national no‑phone day and renewed neighborly conversations—to rebuild empathy, reject manipulation, and strengthen democracy.

They remind you to pick up a copy of their book, Truthful Manipulation. It'll help you to see the manipulations in your life.  Available on Amazon worldwide.
