Reclaiming Opinions in the Age of Algorithms

November 09, 2024
This is a Tedx Talk that I delivered in November, 2024 drawing from my rhetorical studies book Entitled Opinions: Doxa After Digitality. The talk explores how social media platforms have transformed our understanding of opinions, turning them into tools for platforms to capture attention and influence beliefs. Drawing on ideas from antiquity, the talk challenges the relevance of the phrase “everyone is entitled to their own opinion” in an era shaped by algorithms.
