Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy

Episode Notes How has the digital age made us feel more shame than ever? Today's guest is a mathematician and amazing author Cathy O'Neil. Her new book discusses how online marketing, advertisements, and algorithms are designed to make us feel shame for profit. We discuss the various issues from body image, to mental health and polarization. Most importantly, we discuss how they trick us to buy into these narratives to shame others.
