This was a great conversation. The part of the conversation where they talked about how social media amplifies the moats people have built around their beliefs got me wondering how platforms could create channels for folks to understand other points of view.

Ben and James discuss how the aggregation of media led to a weakening of political parties, opening the door to unexpected candidates. Plus, why Facebook’s focus on engagement might be dangerous, and why diversity is important from day one.
