For complete podcast episode details, go to https://behavior-podcast.com/on-socia.... Elizaveta Friesem writes about media, communication, and social power (i.e., the concept of power that characterizes people and their relationships). Topics we discuss here include: Michel Foucault’s ideas about power (often referenced in liberal academic world); the oppressed/oppressor framework (also often used these days); how simplistic views of social power can be divisive and result in a reduction in people's empathy; how the free will debate ties into these ideas; political polarization related to some of these ideas.
