Populism, Media Revolutions, and our Terrible Moment

Notes/Summary:
Next 100 or so years will be really weird and hopefully not ravaged by war. Social media and the internet is a media revolution; the printing press is the last time a decentralizing media revolution occurred (radio and TV are both centralizing: 1 voice -> many vs many voices simultaneously).

Populism rising as a marketing campaign and oops also the policy: bad systems designed by bad people help the wrong people - this is why and how we should fix it

Recklessness, inflammatory remarks and opinions sell engagement and always have, and are also a piece of this rise.

Removal of trust - where are we going?

Increase understanding of systems
