Diagnonsense: The Mind-Bending Effects of Social Media and Big Pharma

Episode Overview

  • Discusses the impact of social media and controversy marketing on society

Well, we've done that thing again where we go off on a tangent for half an hour on an important tangent. You need a shirt that references the tangents. Josh Freifogel's wonderful rabbit trail. Follow the white rabbit.
What happens when you mix social media with a dose of critical thinking? In this episode of Diagnonsense, Isaac Smolden, Kurt Honak, and returning guest Josh Freifogel dive into the chaotic world of media influence and pharmaceutical power. They tackle the brain-draining effects of social media and how it shapes our thoughts and behaviors. Ever wondered why controversy seems to sell so well?
This trio breaks it down, examining the marketing tactics that keep us hooked and questioning the ethics behind them. And yes, they even try to wrap their tongues around the new name for the app formerly known as Twitter. But it’s not all about social media. The conversation takes a deeper turn into the corporatization of pharmaceuticals and the murky waters of censorship. Are we really getting the full story, or is historical erasure at play?
With a blend of humor and serious debate, this episode encourages you to think twice about the information you consume and the forces behind it. If you’re curious about how media and big pharma intersect with your daily life, this episode is a must-listen.
