Listen "Trapped in the Feed: What Is Your Algorithm Hiding From You?"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textTwo people. Same background. Completely different digital realities. How?In this episode, we unravel the invisible influence of algorithms and how personalized feeds quietly shape your worldview, reinforcing what you already believe and filtering out anything that challenges it. From college debates that once built mental muscle to today’s one-tap echo chambers, we explore what we’ve lost—and how it affects everything from political polarization to your ability to handle conflict. One negotiation experiment reveals just how badly even seasoned leaders struggle when stripped of their usual power dynamics.We also get real about digital media literacy. Deepfakes, out-of-context headlines, and AI-generated nonsense are everywhere. But are you prepared to tell the difference?This episode is your wake-up call to question your feed, sharpen your critical thinking, and take back control of your digital life. Because your algorithm isn’t just feeding you content—it’s feeding you a version of reality. Support the showStay With Us Watch and Subscribe to The E Word on YouTube.
