What Happened to #JonStewart? — A Retrospective

This is an already 2-years old video, but I would recommend it strongly to everyone interested in understanding the role of #politicalsatire in nowadays #public #discourses, and especially to fans of the #DailyShow with Jon Stewart, as they are particularly likely to share some of his most problematic #biases, that is the appeal to #rationality and this idea that only #polite conversation is fit for #democracy.

Published a new resource page on Epictetus' Discourses in Substack yesterday. Organized links to 46 lecture videos & 46 podcast episodes covering key ideas, distinctions, arguments & practices from this absolutely central Stoic text!

❗ There's still time to register (free of charge) for the #REWIND project workshop, where the trainers will explain the #IATML methodology, a computational method that allows us to analyse discourses.

It can help us, for example, study the opinions of the population, combining ontological, argumentative and agency analysis.

Imagine #discourses on social media that are about #class and #economic inequality had the same #velocity as the ones about tribal #identity

People who argue about the need for 'free speech' on #social media are missing the point:

Freedom of speech does not matter in places where #noise & #influence decide what gets seen

Ask for #freedom from #pollution and #manipulation in shared media instead

Wenn der Diskurs "#Anpassung an die #Klimakrise statt Reduktion unserer Emissionen" aufkommt, ist das weder Einsicht noch Zufall - sondern dahinter steckt eine Agenda & ein bewußtes #Framing.

Den Schritt von “naja wird nicht so schlimm” zu “Huch, jetzt ist es so” geht schnell - und das ist gefährlicher als es scheint und öffnet ein Einfallstor für die extreme Rechte, hat @Natascha_Strobl erklärt.
