#172 — Among the Deplorables

Sam Harris speaks with Andrew Marantz about his book “Antisocial:
Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians, and the Hijacking of the
American Conversation." They discuss the effect of social media
on politics, the distinction between publishers and platforms,
the problem of guilt by association, getting too close to
interview subjects, the confusing nature of troll culture, the
notion of “dog whistles,” how to respond to the current reality
of racism, and other topics.
