The polarization and the groups on face bookr just a perfect demonstration of our tribal minds in the modern era. I think we should choose the goals for which social media is used right now. The goal is to increase consumerism. If and so i'm actually a huge advocate of a knowledge commons, where all knowledge is free. And instead of triggering people to be polarized, ort mor ino, stay on and buy more stuff.
On this episode we meet with ecological economist and Professor in Community Development & Applied Economics and Public Administration, Josh Farley.
Farley explores the importance of human cooperation in a modern superstructure that incentivizes competition. What role will cooperation play in helping us solve our largest existential problems?
Farley explains the critical social dilemma humans face: How can we grapple with the paradox that individuals are better served to act selfishly, but cooperation among individuals makes everyone better off?
Additionally, Professor Farley helps us distinguish the difference between how a system works, and how we can understand and participate in changing a system.
