Above the Discord: Evolving Humanity in the Age of the Internet.\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2oNLoPAf1hg?start=306&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new discussion is emerging as the initial optimism of a self-regulated global internet community gives way to concerns involving the power and vulnerability of tech platform businesses in their influence over civil society and safety. Increasingly it seems clear that the digital revolution, in which information, misinformation and disinformation co-travel worldwide at the speed of thought, needs to be thought of as requiring more than a small adjustment to our politics and culture as financial incentives beckon those in control of content distribution networks to place their fingers on the scales in the marketplace of ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the modern era, the analog of the public square is the private tech platform. This means that business and regulatory concerns are increasingly coming to dictate what can and cannot be said in the privatized public square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of a broader dialogue and conference on balancing our constitutional rights to free speech against the changes wrought by digital platforms in the way information is constructed and spread, the Center for Innovation, Growth and Society (CIGS) recently hosted a conversation between Sam Harris and Nicholas Christakis entitled Above the Discord: Evolving our Common Humanity in the Age of the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing technology is forcing us to re-evaluate our economic, social, and political frameworks. Bringing an evolutionary lens to understanding the rapidly changing nature of distribution networks Harris and Christakis explore the relationship between human nature and technology, and the potential implications for social, economic and political frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sam Harris is a best-selling author, neuroscientist, philosopher of mind, and host of the podcast \u201cMaking Sense\u201d. His writing and public lectures cover a wide range of topics \u2013 neuroscience, moral philosophy, religion, meditation practice, human violence, rationality \u2013 but generally focus on how a growing understanding of ourselves and the world is changing our sense of how we should live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nicholas Christakis is Professor of Social and Natural Science in the Department of Sociology at Yale with additional appointments in the Departments of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; Statistics and Data Science; Biomedical Engineering; Medicine; and in the School of Management. He served as the Sol Goldman Family Professor of Social and Natural Science until 2018, when he was appointed as a Sterling Professor, the highest honor bestowed on Yale faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Many Costs of Social Media Addiction\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pSUZQVO4_t8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
