C. Thi Nguyen on The Gamification of Public Discourse

In a 2019 lecture in London, C. Thi Nguyen gives perhaps the most efficient and cogent explanation of the problems with modern discourse that I’ve ever seen. I just finished watching it, and want to immediately start over from the beginning so I can take notes. I wish I’d had some of these terms and concepts in the dozens of conversations I’ve had about Twitter, moral outrage, and echo chambers over the last few years. If those are things you’d value a clearer understanding of, I highly recommend this lecture.
