The Neuroscience of Why We're Susceptible to Lies, Outrage, ad Fascism

Cass Sunstein, Harvard professor and coauthor of the forthcoming book, Look Again, joins Offline to discuss the dangers of habituation. When things become so commonplace that they blend into the background of our everyday lives, we stop appreciating the good and identifying the bad. Jon and Cass examine how authoritarian regimes are normalized, whether you can pay people to quit their social media addictions, and why repeating lies makes them more believable. But first! Max and Jon dive into Meta's decision to stop recommending political content on their platforms, President Biden's foray onto TikTok, and what a recent Selena Gomez deepfake means for the future of scamming.
