Social Learning, Ego Fragility, and Outrage Expression in Online Interactions

This chapter explores the link between social learning, ego fragility, and the expression of outrage in online interactions, particularly on social media platforms. It discusses how individuals with low self-esteem are heavily influenced by social rewards such as 'likes' and approval, leading to insecurity and erratic behavior. The conversation delves into the differences in outrage expression between ideologically extreme networks and the normal distribution bell curve, highlighting the role of social feedback, group identity, and moral outrage in shaping online interactions.
