Logocentric Podcast

LC#3: Is YouTube as Credible as Old Media?


Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of #Logocentric! During the #COVID crisis, we are seeing a rise in arguments that seem to be pro-science and pro-reason but end up being based on fallacy-ridden axioms. One of the biggest targets has been YouTube, people questioning whether scientists and Ph.D's on the social media platform are considered "illegitimate"  or #FakeNews just by having content on YouTube. I exam these arguments that seem to be popping up on social media via memes, tweets, etc. and challenge their clarity but also Steel-Man their argument to see what is attempted to be said even if it isn't articulated correctly.
