How the Mirror World Distorts Our Reality w/ Naomi Klein
Tech Won't Save Us
Using the Doppelganger as a Tool for Understanding Complex Phenomena
The speaker, as a writer, found the concept of doppelgangers to be a useful tool to understand the confusion and distrust about online information during the pandemic. They observed the phenomenon of prominent leftists switching to the right, which they related to the concept of fascism. The idea of doppelgangers also helped the speaker and others reckon with the menace of societies having evil twins.

It served as a way to tame hyper objects that were overwhelming and shrink them down to a manageable size.
