Description

How do we identify trustworthy information? What does the modern-day propaganda machine look like? In this episode of Technocracy for Dummies, Sam talks with Renée DiResta, a researcher and professor at Georgetown University, about the information sphere. We cover topics like identifying trustworthy images and videos, mob movement online, and how liberal institutions have failed in gaining the trust of the American people. We also think about ways to engage more thoughtfully with the content that affects us. Slowly but surely, we're going to turn Technocracy into a tool for Smartypants. More on Ampliganda TFD is produced and edited by Sam Simon and Matty Rosenberg at Radio Free Rhinecliff. Inquiries: technocracy4dummies@gmail.com Leave us a message: (845) 307-7446‬
