Former Facebook exec: "I think we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works. The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops we’ve created are destroying how society works. No civil discourse, no cooperation; misinformation, mistruth. You are being programmed".

I think understanding how information is manipulated in social media sites is the key to figuring out how powerful people keep their plans in secret. This video is about how huge media sites like Facebook are manipulated.

It's a former Facebook executive talking about the way he and others basically sought to destroy the level of discourse online by turning people into dopamine addicts.

I think he starts talking about the subject around the 21 minute mark.

You should fast forward the video when you post it. Nobody gonna wade through a 90 minutes video.
