Let's talk about adult brains drunk on social influence through the illusions and purposeful manipulations of the internet. Video! summary The conversation explores the pervasive effects of internet influence and peer pressure on society, highlighting how these factors have radicalized identities and impacted human psychology. Algorithms are particularly implicated as the highly corruptive \"third party affiliations\" that we don't directly choose, which then keep us locked within social groups and cliques.
