In this episode, Michael Brown dives into the world of social media and its impact on society. He discusses the recent incident where teenagers stormed a Scientology building in New York, and how it's a symptom of a larger issue - the way social media platforms like TikTok are engineered to reward extreme behavior and disregard for norms. Michael explores the consequences of this, including the erosion of civil society and the influence of the Chinese Communist Party's algorithm. He also touches on other topics, from the rise of Chinese electric cars in the US to a conversation with Congressman Wesley Hunt about racial representation in politics.
