This episode on Social Warming by Charles Arthur takes a look at social media platforms and their negative effects on society caused by their business model as well as their increasing size; such as the breakdown of trust, the increase in fake news, and political polarisation.He uses real-world examples of how social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and WhatsApp have all played a role in the breakdown of society in one way or another. Jes and I explore a lot in this episode, touching on the three main areas mentioned previously as well as haywire algorithms, the consequences of amplifying negative and false information, the problems of incentivising lies and fake news, and finally the erosion of democracy.This is a poignant episode as currently, over 4 billion people in the world use some form of social media, and as this increases, so will the problems related to them. With a better understanding of how these platforms work, we can put forward solutions that focus on individual and societal commonalities rather than just differences.So with that being said, we hope you enjoy it, and if so, make sure you show us some love by leaving us a like, commenting or subscribing to our channel, because frankly why wouldn't you, its free knowledge at your fingertips.--  If you enjoyed this podcast make sure to check out our other content on our other platforms:Website: https://wisewords.blog/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wisewords.blog/Twitter: https://twitter.com/wisewordsblogFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WiseWordsBlogYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEWeK869x5kMOadyLiW2zQg

Charles Arthur's latest book, his third, is Social Warming, which looks at how and why social media has such a dramatically polarising effect on politics, journalism and societies around the world, even in countries where usage is low. His previous two books were on hacking (Cyber Wars, 2016) and the three-way tussle between Apple, Google and Microsoft in search, music and smartphones (Digital Wars, 2012). He was technology editor at The Guardian from 2005-2014, and before that had roles as the technology and science editor at The Independent from 1995-2013.

Ring True explores the role of politics, psychology, and tech giants in the spread of misinformation in science. The six-part miniseries will also examine how research, policymaking, and journalism help or hurt the spread of misinformation. Charles Arthur likens the gradual but eventual threat of misinformation to global warming. He calls it social warming. In this episode, we look at three key issues in science: vaccination, climate change, and the Flat Earth movement. -- Cannot wait for the next episode?

Musician Marian Call appeared on New Disruptors back in October 2013. Her home was in Alaska, but she spent a lot of time away from it touring. With six more years under her belt, she's trying to stick closer to her community in Juneau. One of the reasons? Her husband Pat Race, an illustrator, gallery owner, videographer, filmmaker, and part-time adult camp operator. We talk about their independent careers and where both find themselves—besides in Alaska—and how they converge and diverge with their work. Also, we learn just how hopping a town Juneau is for creative people! Marian on the universe of entertainment now available and what we contend for as artists: “I can't place too many demands on people's attention knowing they have all the options in the world.” Find them both on Twitter: @mariancall and @alaskarobotics.
