The Streisand effect
Welcome to episode 21! This week, Ollie delves into how easy it is for actions to have unintended consequences. He starts with the Streisand effect, where Barbra Streisand’s efforts to hide her mansion actually made it more famous. Then, Ollie explores how social media, designed to connect us, might be increasing social anxiety and division instead. Ollie has some interesting thoughts on how to use social media as an addition to, not a replacement for, our real-world connections.
