that's harries dot com slash woods hi everybody tom woods here dr robert epstein is back on the show

with us today we're going to be talking about an entirely different subject from what we talked to him about last time.

And that has to do with the Internet and how people can be manipulated on the Internet

and how they can even be manipulated through the way search results appear in the ordering of search results.

Very, very, very interesting stuff.

Original research done by Dr. Epstein, who holds his Ph.D. in psychology from Harvard. He is

formerly the editor of psychology today. He is the founder and director emeritus of the Cambridge

Center for Behavioral Studies in Massachusetts, and he's currently senior

research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, and a

contributing editor for Scientific American Mind. Dr. Epstein, welcome back.

My pleasure, Tom. Well, I will tell you something. People are still, I don't think I want to say reeling, but still processing what you had to say last time.

We talked about adolescence in your previous appearance. I had a great discussion thread about that in my private Facebook group.

And I guess it's funny I mentioned Facebook because we'll be getting to that in a little while.

I want to start with a discussion of this phenomenon, search engine manipulation effect or seam.

And I'm wondering, is that a term you coined yourself?
