How do we manage the information that is presented to us as “scientific”? How do we ensure that we are properly critical of how information, positioned as knowledge, contributes to how we think the world already functions? How do we know we are not participating in “Digital Confirmation Bias”? Social Media is meant for fast consumption. Fast response. But algorithms are unconcerned with whether we do or not. Algorithms are concerned with financial bottom-lines.
This series is meant to be a demonstrative exercise in how to ask good questions of science and knowledge production presented to us. While I’ll primarily focuses on examples in social media, I’ll model tactics and approaches one can use in more formal scientific and research spaces.
