Summary

Social media has brought about a paradigm shift in the way we communicate, share information, and form opinions. But what happens when social media causes division or silences the voices of those speaking up? Today I’m joined by Dr. Scott Galloway, a Jewish atheist, who shares the escalating issues of censorship and anti-Semitism, especially in the digital age. We discuss the alarming rise of anti-Semitism, its impact on Jewish communities, and the role of media in propagating this issue. We also dive into the influence of social media platforms like TikTok in shaping societal views and the potential involvement of the Chinese government in promoting divisive content. We go over the increasing trend of censorship on social media and its effect on meaningful conversations like the Israel-Palestine conflict. Dr. Scott Galloway is a clinical professor of marketing at the New York University Stern School of Business, public speaker, author, podcast host, and entrepreneur. What we discuss: (02:07) - Dr. Galloway shares his perspective as a Jewish atheist and discusses the rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses (15:04) - The deep-rooted issue of anti-Semitism and the anger and fear it evokes in the Jewish community (35:10) - The Israel and Palestine conflict, focusing on the generational divide in opinions and the influence of social media (31:53) - The influence of TikTok on the younger generation and its impact on shaping their views of the world (0:59:44) - The correlation between the growing protests for free Palestine and the loneliness and depression experienced by young men in America Find more from Jen: Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/ Instagram: @therealjencohen Books: https://www.jennifercohen.com/books Speaking: https://www.jennifercohen.com/speaking-engagement Learn more from Dr. Scott Galloway: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/profgalloway
