But the people who use social media for self-promotion are not like you. They literally feed off it, i guess psychologists can explain that better. Think of politicians who use facebook/twitter for personal gain. They develop an emotio

Hmm, i think its a very difficult task. I think perhaps a useful thing would be to intentionally break the bubbles. Something like an inverse-recommendation engine. E.g. instead of "people who read article X also read Y", you say

I think the tool you need is "skepticism". Teach people to not rush to ascribe labels to everything they don't like, and to stop ignoring anything that has been labeled as X-ist by their bubble. Teach people to not think with

While globalism just took a big slap in the face, i dont think it's even reversible [it's too big to fail]. Trump may soften some edges, shake it up a bit, but I don't expect fundamental changes. Remember that populist leader
