And that is going to create more alienation, disconnection and polarization.
And that includes polarization around what is true, what we believe and values that we hold.
Yeah, I mean, I think that might be Adam Berinsky at MIT that you're thinking of there.
His research has shown that oftentimes when we get in these habits of self-referential bits of evidence and validating bubbles, that rather than hearing misinformation refuted by someone who you'd expect to
be.
So a public health officer is going to refute vaccine skepticism.
You hear it from someone who's maybe more like your social bubble, someone who's maybe more conservative or more on the business side of things as opposed to the government side of things.
And that actually can be an important part of why you might believe that source over someone you are inherently more skeptical or wary of.
Thanks, Dave.
