It’s not sophisticated, and anybody can wield it to unleash untold damage instantly. The shocking reality of social media, as we learned in our recent conversation with Jaron Lanier, is that it can be used to manipulate human perception and behavior in ways even its creators are only now beginning to understand.įake news, for all its coverage by the real news, is spread far and wide by weaponized social media - the guerilla warfare of an outfinanced enemy.

While the Internet’s been around for a while now, does it seem like it’s just recently become a force powerful enough to sow real-life division among friends and family in a way that beats Thanksgiving dinners, baseball games, and Black Friday sales - combined?

We recognize that social media and the Internet have changed dramatically since 2010 when the blog began, and thus we’ve updated how we create content: Selected Wisdom will continue as a blog at Substack, be accompanied by short videos on YouTube, and will also include podcasts. In 2021, Selected Wisdom will do the same-crowd sourcing, curating and creating analysis and lessons learned on national security, social media and the information environment, and whatever else might come up on any given day. Selected Wisdom started as a blog in 2010 designed to gather information from researchers and analysts with unique insights in their respective disciplines and provide analysis on a range of national security topics.
