“Out of the Rabbit Hole: From Radicalization to Amplification of Far-Right Content Online” – Becca LEWIS | Stanford Cyber Policy Center
Algorithmic radicalization (or radicalization pipeline) is the concept that algorithms on popular social media sites such as YouTube and Facebook drive users toward progressively more extreme content over time, leading to them developing radicalized extremist political views. Algorithms record user interactions, from likes/dislikes to amount of time spent on posts, to generate endless media aimed to keep users engaged. Through echo chamber channels,… Continue lendo “Out of the Rabbit Hole: From Radicalization to Amplification of Far-Right Content Online” – Becca LEWIS | Stanford Cyber Policy Center

“O poder dos afetos” – Oswaldo GIACOIA JR & VLADIMIR SAFATLE
Há um filósofo romeno em Paris, Stéphane Lupasco, que identifica a afetividade com o absoluto. Uma vez que existe a afetividade, e ela é projetada nas ideias, é provável que qualquer ideia acabe se tornando uma paixão, logo, um perigo. É um processo absolutamente fatal. Não há ideia absolutamente neutra. Até os lógicos são passionais.… Continue lendo “O poder dos afetos” – Oswaldo GIACOIA JR & VLADIMIR SAFATLE

“Deconstructing Jordan Peterson” – Alex J. O’CONNOR
Jordan Peterson is famously vague when asked about his views on the existence of God. He's more enthusiastic about discussing religion and scripture broadly, but still then leaves some mystery about his actual views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-yQVlHo4JA In this video, I try my best to identify and unpack Peterson's religious philosophy, before offering some objections.
