I think one of the most important questions in our country right now, that people ask me all the time, is how do we roll back the polarization and begin a productive dialogue again. I don’t have a ton of great answers, but in about an hour (5:00 Thursday) I’ll be interviewing one of my favorite thinkers on the subject, Whitney Phillips.
Whitney is an academic who teaches classes on mis/ disinformation, online ethics, and had written articles for the Guardian and Wired about the Qanon phenomenon.
