Not serious about an impartial critique
When I heard the trailer for this podcast, I was cautiously optimistic that it might truly present both sides of the political spectrum. I was deeply disappointed to find it heavily biased to the left. They pay only modest lip service to the systemic censorship of conservative voices and instead spent most of the first episode lamenting events of Jan. 6th 2021 in the context that Facebook and Twitter didn’t do enough to police their platforms; and that failure allowed would-be insurrectionists to organize. As a sociologist I am shocked that the host did not immediately recognize that less censorship (not more) would have helped to alleviate the concerns that led to the unfortunate events of Jan. 6th. People resort to violence only when they believe have no voice. The makers of this podcast should throw this out and start again from a level playing field. I’m beginning to think that it is not possible for the political left to step back and own their biases and hypocrisy. This Gramsci agenda to take down the US from within has been brewing on college campuses and K-12 classrooms since the fall of the Soviet Union. And it’s this generation of students who graduated having been subjected to this socialist propaganda curriculum of in the past 25 years that are now running most of the major corporations (tech, entertainment, news and otherwise), universities, and government agencies around the country. The aim is to undermine the rights and liberties of the individual in favor of the collectivist prime mover: the aggrieved groups that make up modern identity politics. This is not your father’s DNC and it started at least as far back as the election of Bill Clinton in 1992. This business of the left pitting one group against another and the willful participation by the majority of the nation’s trusted institutions is what’s tearing at the fabric of US society. Social media companies are just one manifestation of this larger collectivist movement that threatens the principles of The Enlightenment and Western Civilization (i.e. individual liberties) everywhere.

This podcast is horrendous not worth anyone’s time. There is nothing in this podcast of value Unless you follow the host’s resume with unhealthy interest. Please drop this before it ruins freakonmics brand.

Nice look into the digital world. Soft hitting and at times unchallenging but a new look into a world with increasing influence.

I’m a big fan of Sudhir’s work but so far I find him to be a bit of an apologist for the tech industry on this project. I would hoped he took more of an outsider looking in approach rather than the insider looking out into the broader world. Still looking forward to future episodes and hope he...Read full review »
