Episode Description

This is a topic that I have been thinking about for a very long time. Social media and YouTube have a litany of channels that create “debates” that allow for extremely controversial opinions and beliefs to be shared. This is very common on YouTube channels like Jubilee which generates a lot of views with shows like “Surrounded” and “Middle Ground”. But does this promotion of extremely controversial ideas really make us more understanding? Thinking back on how well-known scientists like Peter Hotez and Anthony Fauci and how they have been pushed aside for other less experienced voices who promote misinformation and conspiracy makes me question whether or not we should allow the fringe to share their views. I speak about these things, along with a Pseudoshort about research ideas in this episode.
