In this episode, the rest of the Intelligent Speculation team and I are discussing outrage culture.
We discuss:
•What exactly outrage culture is.
•How humans are easily overcome by their emotions and that the media, politicians, etc. know this and use it as means to capture our attention.
•How people have stopped listening to each other and, consequently, this has lead to a breakdown in civil discourse.
•That having access to all of this information through our smart devices exacerbates outrage as you are constantly exposed to sensationalized headlines.
•How the echo chambers of social media reinforce outrage culture and, in general, severely disrupts critical thinking as you can no longer evaluate the nuances of the issue.
•That emotions aren't inherently bad, but you must learn to control them and understand how they are influencing you in the moment.
•Why it's so hard for people to admit that they're wrong.
•And other topics.
