tripu“What [<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> companies] sell are more and more accurate predictions of our behaviour to advertisers, and as that gets more refined, you really have as close as we've ever come to <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#advertising</a> being a kind of sure thing, where it really works. Even there, most people won't necessarily care about that, because if you tell them: ‘Listen, the thing you really thought you wanted, and went out and bought — you were played by the company. The company placed an ad with <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Facebook</a>, and FB delivered it to you because you were the perfect target of that ad.’ I think the person can, at the end of the day, own all of that process and just subsume it with their satisfaction at having bought the thing they now actually want. ‘I wanted a new Prius. Right? I mean, it was time. I needed a new car.’” — <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/SamHarris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SamHarris</a>, <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/MakingSense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakingSense</a> podcast, <a href="https://samharris.org/podcasts/218-welcome-cult-factory/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://samharris.org/podcasts/218-welcome-cult-factory/</a> [subscriber edition]

tripuThis. This all the time.

It's readers. […] The only solution that I could imagine is some kind of new norm by readers. That is, by consumers of media. Right now, I don't get a sense that people feel much shame when they find out that they've been had. If you share a video […] and it turned out not to be real, then: ‘yeah, too bad’. […] I would certainly like more of a burden to be placed on readers. That is, if you're not going to feel ashamed about that kind of thing, then I would hope that the people you shared it to, encourage you to feel that shame. […] I don't see the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#media</a> as being the problem here.” — <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/GraemeWood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GraemeWood</a>, on the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/MakingSense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakingSense</a> podcast (in the subscriber version) <a href="https://samharris.org/podcasts/216-september-3-2020/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://samharris.org/podcasts/216-september-3-2020/</a>

tripuJust listened to the last episode of the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/MakingSense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakingSense</a> podcast. Quite a few interesting ideas there. I disagree with a bunch. eg, I don't understand how <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#taxes</a> (which are compulsory) could be called “solidarity” (which is voluntary by definition). And I'd remind <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/DanielMarkovits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DanielMarkovits</a> & <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/SamHarris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SamHarris</a> that some <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#billionaires</a> donate very little, or to irrelevant or self-aggrandizing causes — but that many others are in fact effective altruist. On the positive, this conversation will make me question the merits of our meritocracy (pun intended), which doesn't seem to work as well as I assumed. And I think it'll help me find arguments to support my growing intuition that a cap on extreme individual <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/wealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wealth</a> may be morally justified and socially beneficial (I mean a 100% marginal tax rate for wealth above $10B or the like, ie affecting the truly super-rich only). <a href="https://samharris.org/podcasts/205-failure-meritocracy/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://samharris.org/podcasts/205-failure-meritocracy/</a>
