i think it's the re combining of ideas that lead to like real true innovations, right? I mean, this little bad boy is re wiring our brains as we speak. So i get angry at people a lot who look at a particular moment in history and they take that really particular event and ascribe it to the entire system and place that survives. And most of the time, what you're actually describing is how human beings fail in groups. Yes, being able to point to real things that did happen is worth a lot more than being able to talk about abstraction. All models are bad. And your model, if it never touched reality, is probably really badright?
In this episode of Infinite Loops we speak with Johnny Nelson, @generativist, on the state of Social Media and the Internet. We discuss about:
- Managing your attention
- Algorithms: Good or bad?
- Censorship on social media
- What will make people adopt a new social platform?
- Is history an accurate predictor of the future?
- And a LOT more!
