C. Thi Nguyen
The Gamification of Public Discourse
RoyIntPhilosophy, 2019
Sobre o que é?
The nature of social media discourse entices people to dumb down their values and moral beliefs.
Recommendation
As a former game addict, C. Thi Nguyen says he can feel the same factors that make gaming so satisfying at work in social media discourse: levels, scores and simplified goals. This “gamification” shuts down the kind of deep, nuanced, amiable dialogues about an issue you might have with someone face-to-face, and instead promotes a dumbed-down version of moral outrage, including sound bites and viciousness. Nguyen’s engaging talk peels back the layers to expose the troubling mechanisms underlying modern public discourse.
Summary
