To avoid sliding down a slope
Three rules for keeping your moral compass from drifting under the influence of propaganda, algorithms, and tribalism.
My three rules for keeping my moral compass from drifting under the influence of propaganda, algorithms, and tribalism.
-
Maintain sources from the opposite side of the spectrum, even when I disagree with them. It's best when these sources aren't just "the other side," but are reasonable and well-argued.
-
Minimize algorithmic feeds. What I watch and read must be chosen manually; lists, sources, and feeds should be strictly curated.
-
Keep a journal. This includes recounting events in detail and providing analytical reflections on what is happening.
