On Social Media and Self Delusion (with Jia Tolentino)
Summary
Jia Tolentino is a staff writer at the New Yorker and the bestselling author of 2019’s “Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self Delusion.” At age 34, she has quickly become one of the most celebrated essayists and cultural critics of her generation. Tolentino joins Preet to discuss the incentive structure behind social media companies, how becoming a mother has affirmed her belief in abortion rights, and how the current economic environment is affecting online journalism.
Plus, what did Fani Willis, the District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, mean when she said charging decisions were “imminent” in connection with Donald Trump and his allies’ efforts to overturn the 2020 election results? And what does the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard really mean?
Don’t miss the Insider bonus, where Tolentino discusses her experience on a reality television show as a teenager — and how it has impacted her views as a writer and critic. To listen, try the membership for just $1 for one month: cafe.com/insider.
