To hear more, visit www.conspicuouscognition.com This week, I talked with the great Elle Griffin about “free speech in the age of social media.” Elle is a writer, essayist, and general polymath who writes the excellent newsletter The Elysian . I would highly recommend following her work and Substack. We talked about a wide range of topics, including: * What is misinformation? * Is the misinformation problem worse today than in the past? * Why is censorship bad? And why is free speech good? * In what ways is misinformation symptomatic of deeper problems like polarisation and institutional distrust? * Should we treat online spaces like public parks? * How can we design social media platforms so that they encourage prosocial behaviour? (Elle had some very interesting ideas here). * In what ways is the enforcement of “epistemic norms” (e.g., against lying) different to the enforcement of other norms (e.g., against littering)? * Do we really want social media platforms to be free of conflict? Should all platforms be comfortable? I got a lot from the conversation and hope people enjoy it.","meta_description":"This is a free preview of a paid episode.
