Today's guest on Moments of Clarity is Alexandre Fleck Soares Brandao (Alex Fleck).
Alex moved to Australia in 2018 to pursue a PhD at UNSW Sydney under the Scientia Scholarship Program. His research focuses on how social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have reshaped the way social movements pursue legal change. He has previously taught at UNSW Law, but is currently in the last stages of finishing his thesis.
Alex is originally from Brazil, but has lived in different places. As a child he briefly lived in Southern California and as a young adult moved to the Basque Country, Spain, whe...

Yoga Wisdom with Acharya das#128 Living in the Age of OutrageI’ve been asked how we can navigate our way through this current “age of outrage”. It’s really important to recognize that in a heightened state of emotions people generally do not think very clearly and certainly do not make the best choices and take the best actions which produce the best possible outcomes.
Social Media (YouTube included) have employed AI-driven algorithms to feed you “outrageous” content, content that elicits an emotional reaction from you. The more emotional, the more “sticky” the post is. The masters of social media are vying for your time. The more time you spend wi...

The Ezra Klein ShowThe Pandemic Lessons We Clearly Haven’t LearnedI remember thinking, as Covid ravaged the country in December 2020, that at least the holidays the next year would be better. There would be more vaccines, more treatments, more immunity. Instead, we got Omicron and a confusing new phase of the pandemic. What do you do with a variant that is both monstrously more infectious and somewhat milder? What do you say about another year when we didn’t have enough tests, enough ventilation or the best guidance on masks? And how do you handle the fracturing politics of a changing pandemic in an exhausted country?Zeynep Tu...

Conversations with TylerZeynep Tufekci on the Sociology of The Moment (Live)When Zeynep Tufekci penned a New York Times op-ed at the onset of the pandemic challenging the prevailing public health guidance that ordinary people should not wear masks, she thought it was the end of her public writing career. Instead, it helped provoke the CDC to reverse its guidance a few weeks later, and medical professionals privately thanked her for writing it. While relieved by the reception, she also saw it as a sign of a deeper dysfunction in the scientific establishment: why should she, a programmer and sociologist by training, have been the one to speak out rather...

She saw that the public health community was ignoring the evidence on masking, and raised the alarm persuasively enough that she tipped the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention toward new, lifesaving guidance. Before Tufekci was being prescient about the coronavirus, she was being prescient about disinformation online, about the way social media was changing political organizing, about what election forecasting models could actually tell us...

AM1300 今日話題 Today's Topic大選預測模式是否可信？簡單回答：不可信。北卡大學副教授Zeynep Tufekci 把大選預測模式和氣象預測進行了比較，很有意思。氣象預測從何而來？ 兩個方面，一個是直接因素，一個是統計概率。 直接因素是科學對大氣運動和地理環境的研究與理解。這是基於人類千百年來的觀察和研究組成的預測基礎。 統計概率則是人類無數次地收集氣象資料。這兩點，大選都不具備。 首先，研究現代美國大選初選的民調從1972年開始。 從那時到現在，只有12次大選，這個次數太低，無法形成有意義的根據。同時變數太多： 最後時刻的國內國外局勢 經濟情況 選民投票前的改變主意 接受民調的選民會不會真的去投票 其他因素，如，1972年根本沒有社交媒體，所以那時的經驗可借鑑的不多；和氣象不同的是，每次大選都不是完全一樣的重複，其中充滿根本無法預測的因素。於是最終的依靠就是所謂的“民調”了。 2016年的大選告訴我們，民調也不可靠。獲勝機率和真正獲勝完全不同。 如果投票結果顯示一個候選人贏得53%的選票，則此候選人就算大勝。 但同一候選人如大選之前的獲勝機率是53%，意思就是，完全一樣的選舉進行100次，他/她可能贏53次，但也會輸掉47次。 我們怎麼知道某次選舉不是那47次之一呢？我們聽聽 Tufekci 教授如何解釋這個現象。

KQED's ForumSociologist Zeynep Tufekci on the Key to this PandemicWhite House chief of staff Mark Meadows told CNN Sunday that the U.S. is “not going to control the pandemic,” because “it is a contagious virus just like the flu.” But thinking of COVID-19 like the flu and employing a flu-pandemic playbook is not an effective response, according to sociologist Zeynep Tufekci. In her latest piece for The Atlantic, Tufekci highlights a factor she says is key to this pandemic: COVID-19 is an "overdispersed" virus, which means it tends to spread in clusters. When dealing with overdispersion, she writes "identifying transmission events (someone infected someone else) is more important than ide...

They’ve recently been challenged, for example by Professor Zeynep Tufekci in the New York Times and by Jim and Elizabeth on Less Wrong. There was also some debate in the comment section here last week, so I promised I’d look into it in more depth. As far as I can tell, both sides agree on some points.

Berkeley TalksWe need a digital infrastructure that serves humanity, says techno-sociologist Zeynep TufekciSince the launch of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, reports of hate speech targeting various minority groups have risen dramatically. Although this surge is well-reported, it remains difficult to quantify the magnitude of the problem or even properly classify hate speech, let alone identify and measure its effects. Keyword searches and dictionary methods are often imprecise and overly blunt tools for detecting the nuance and complexity of hate speech. Without the tools to identify, quantify, and classify hate speech, we cannot even begin to consider how to address its causes and consequences.Zeynep Tufekci, an associate professor at...

It’s a process through which trust and connection become instrumentalized as tools for the monetization and manipulation of audience attention. Jamie warns how, coupled with powerful algorithms, the gaming of authenticity threatens serious social consequences.

The Gray Area with Sean IllingWhy online politics gets so extreme so fastDuring the 2016 campaign, Zeynep Tufekci was watching videos of Donald Trump rallies on YouTube. But then, she writes, she "noticed something peculiar. YouTube started to recommend and ‘autoplay' videos for me that featured white supremacist rants, Holocaust denials and other disturbing content.” And it wasn’t just Trump videos. Watching Hillary Clinton rallies got her "arguments about the existence of secret government agencies and allegations that the United States government was behind the attacks of Sept. 11.” Nor was it just politics. "Videos about vegetarianism led to videos about veganism. Videos about jogging led to videos about running ultramarathons." Tufekci is a New...

It just gives you a license to ask any question, and hopefully if you have a willing editor, the freedom to see something fascinating and pursue it. It was just a natural fit from there. But that also means I don’t have the machismo, ‘breaking news’ sort of a thing. I feel like I can try on different hats, wherever I am.”
