About this episode

In this episode of the Viral Cure: Making sense of internet discourse series, ⁠Stephen G. Adubato⁠, joins Wisdom of Crowd’s Executive Editor Santiago Ramos to discuss:

  • how partisan and ideological commitments shape the way discourse unfolds on the internet
  • how Santiago checks his own biases and engages seriously and openly with a variety of POVs
  • tactics for developing solid media consumption habits and avoiding getting lost in the pettiness
  • suggestions for avoiding knee- jerk reactions and engaging intelligently with people whose ideas we don’t fully agree with.
