In short, it's a \"social system that transforms differences of opinion into knowledge.\" \u003cbr\u003eThis includes the academic world, including science; institutions such as journalism, government agencies, and law; a dense network of norms and principles such as truth and fact-checking; the expertise of peer reviewers and experts; and systems such as social media platforms.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, the entire system relies on a shared understanding that there are right and wrong ways to create knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e These values, rules, and systems are collectively called the ‘Constitution of Knowledge.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jonathan Rausch devotes a significant portion of the first half of this book to tracing the construction of the modern epistemological order, going back to the 17th and 18th centuries. \u003cbr\u003eBeginning with the so-called triumvirate of modern liberalism—John Locke, Adam Smith, and James Madison—several generations of genius thinkers and scientists emerged, and the current \"Constitution of Knowledge\" was conceived amidst the great innovations that overturned existing economic, political, and epistemological thinking.\u003cbr\u003e Knowledge is redefined not as a product of individual or collective effort, but as the emergent nature of interactions within social networks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But this system is the product of hard-fought battles and hard-won norms and institutions, and many people suffered and shed blood in the process.\u003cbr\u003e The 'Constitution of Knowledge' never existed on its own; it has been brought to its present state by those who have sought to re-understand, defend, and defend it in the face of constant challenge and threat.\u003cbr\u003e And now the baton has been passed to our generation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan we avoid being swayed by the coercive conformity of the community to the agitators, scammers, and psychopaths of the internet?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While the first half focuses on history and theoretical background, the second half takes a sharp look at contemporary American society.\u003cbr\u003e First, as the founder of Twitter confessed, the American commercial internet that gave birth to today's digital ecosystem started with an epistemological flaw from the beginning.\u003cbr\u003e Because advertising was the business model, attention became the top priority, and the computer engine worked based on the number of views and followers, not meaning or value.\u003cbr\u003e As a result, virality has become a system that thrives on anger and misinformation, rather than conversation and knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e Digital media has gone in the opposite direction of the 'Constitution of Knowledge'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Here, Jonathan Rausch pays particular attention to trolling (Chapter 6) and cancel culture (Chapter 7). \u003cbr\u003eThe former spreads misinformation and alternative (fake) realities, while the latter spreads coercive conformity and ideological blacklists.\u003cbr\u003e The former is a strategy favored primarily by populist politicians and right-wing forces in the United States, while the latter is a strategy favored by elitist politicians and left-wing forces who call themselves progressive.\u003cbr\u003e However, the two camps ultimately form a strange symbiotic relationship that reinforces each other.\u003cbr\u003e If you look closely, they have the same goal.\u003cbr\u003e The manipulation of the social and media environment for political (or economic or reputational) gain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The trolling examples in this book are astounding.\u003cbr\u003e It's not because it's original or sophisticated, but because it's sloppy and just made assumptions without any evidence.\u003cbr\u003e But contrary to appearances, trolls are propagandists who meticulously and slowly exploit human cognitive and emotional vulnerabilities.\u003cbr\u003e It's even organized now. \u003cbr\u003eTrolling is no longer just the work of so-called attention seekers seeking fame or far-right politicians trying to inflame the public's political zeal.\u003cbr\u003e Russian intelligence agencies have also joined the comment-spinning army with search bots and algorithms.\u003cbr\u003e The American conservative journalism ecosystem also jumped in, launching a barrage of disinformation on an unprecedented scale.\u003cbr\u003e It is truly a high-tech information war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, cancel culture creates cracks within the reality-based community that upholds the \"constitution of knowledge\" by forcing conformity on its members.\u003cbr\u003e Office workers and self-employed people who lose their livelihoods, reputations, and social connections overnight because of a thoughtless comment on Twitter aren't the only victims of cancel culture. \u003cbr\u003eLausi interviews college students and professors who say they avoid discussing certain topics like race, gender, and class on campus for fear of being ostracized by their peers or being judged by students.\u003cbr\u003e Many others, like them, are victims who self-censor themselves for fear of being canceled the moment they express an opinion that differs from the dominant view within the group.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But this dominant view is often the tyranny of a minority manipulated to appear as if it were the majority.\u003cbr\u003e Online propagandists can use algorithmic amplification and fictional characters to make small groups, such as anti-vaccine groups, appear as if they are large, believable groups.\u003cbr\u003e People who follow the signals around them may misinterpret these fake opinion distributions, assume they are isolated, and ultimately choose to hide their thoughts and (pretend to) agree with the dominant view. \u003cbr\u003eWhen this happens, the community degenerates into an epistemological bubble.\u003cbr\u003e People within the bubble believe they are engaging in lively debate and critique, but in reality, they are merely repeating the process of confirming and reaffirming shared biases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But Jonathan Rausch offers some optimism amidst this.\u003cbr\u003e The rationale? Impressive commitments and innovations are already being made to help the digital media world overcome the onslaught of misinformation.\u003cbr\u003e Among the many examples presented in the book are global platform companies that are widely blamed as the main culprits of this crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Companies that are considering support measures rather than immediately firing employees targeted by cancel culture; universities that are campaigning for political depolarization and open debate, claiming to return to their original mission of pursuing truth; and organizations spontaneously organized by citizens who lost everything and were on the brink of life due to mass terrorism on social media. \u003cbr\u003eThe point is that groups can be confronted as groups, and valuelessness and structurelessness can be confronted through thorough product design and policy design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author's belief that the epistemological order of liberalism has always found a way forward is not an empty theory, but rather a moving one, born from the intense life experience of a lifelong journalist and LGBT activist.\u003cbr\u003e His argument that we should respect and confront opposing opinions rather than ignoring and suppressing them, and that we should listen to even haters with wrong ideas and misinformation, may be the very pillars that have supported the \"Constitution of Knowledge.\"\u003cbr\u003e If you feel a warm feeling in your heart after reading this book, you too are undoubtedly a defender of the 'Constitution of Knowledge.' \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 30, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432 pages | 588g | 148*217*30mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788962632347\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8962632349 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894500098090,"sku":"105551","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/00f6e78292c577717b9174b9521248ae.jpg?v=1765435995","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/105551","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
