Jon Askonas: The End of Reality

Jon Askonas: The End of Reality

Description

I speak with Jon about one of the most important yet subtle phenomena happening right now: the absolute warping of our culture and politics to fit the incentive structure of internet platforms.

We speak about the mechanics and flow of information on the internet, rumors, fake news, mob violence, short video as the ultimate format, mimetic desire, the move from surfing the web to feed-based viewing, how Jon Stewart led to Tucker Carlson, and much more.

Jon Askonas is an assistant professor of Politics at the Catholic University of America and a non-resident senior fellow at the Lincoln Network. His series in the New Atlantis is well worth your attention.
