Ben Shapiro

The big problem that's being described is mass indoctrination, which naturally leads to mass change of opinion, if it succeeds.

I mean, obviously, what I'm in the business of is trying to change opinions back the other way.

So we started a company specifically in order to prevent this.

And we need to grow.

And there are other people in this space, Barry Weiss being one, who is trying to move away from sort of the traditional left-wing narrative towards something that's more centrist and more interesting.

There are a lot of people in this space.

I would say in the media space, I'm a lot more hopeful than I was even when we started the business, because so many avenues have been opened.

I'm a lot more pessimistic when it comes to social media.

I think social media has been a bane and a curse.

And if I could somehow, I mean, again, the only area in life in which I'm a Luddite is when it comes to social media.

If I could hit a red button today and destroy it, I would do it.

I think social media has been a blight on human existence.

I think it's hacked our lizard brains, and turned us into morons, and taught us that

smarts are to be found in unity.

It's used all of the flaws in human thinking and then exacerbated those flaws in order to hit our dopamine receptors.

And it's really, really bad.

So I think there can be changes that are made there.

I would hope that some of the social media

Tech bros would do something about that.

I don't have a lot of hope for that.
