Ep. 22 The Simpleminded Society: Algorithmic Bias

Thinker Sensitive

In the fifth episode of our season on simplemindedness, Ryan, with the help of "The Social Dilemma" Netflix documentary, discusses the issue of algorithmic bias.

"The current online landscape doesn’t create balance; it doesn’t create inclusivity, diversity, tolerance, openness, or unity. Instead, it opposes these things. It makes us more biased, more partisan, more closed-minded, more hostile & contentious, more dogmatic, more divided, more exclusive, more intolerant, more hateful, less informed, and more simple-minded!"
