Social media liberated information, but it also made instantaneous, global mass hysteria possible for the first time in history. If we don't find some defense against the dynamic, I think the threat is existential. Thoughts here:https://bit.ly/2AezH5n

If this is a “revolution” then it’s the most peaceful and least economically disruptive in history. Mass media is maxing our freedom of speech. It’s a good thing. Even though there is tons of bs, humans learn to filter pretty quickly.
there is no point in the piece at which i wrote we are currently experiencing a revolution

I’ll take one “Global mass hysteria” for one “revolution” :). I think it’s fair to say we are living in a historic moment. Mass media is amplifying the moment in a peaceful way. It’s a good thing. And the BS filter is exponentially better with each generation.
