Cicero 1.0 Released. Discover podcast, essays videos from leading thinkers

Every day Facebook “spreads misinformation and hate for profit” according to the latest whistleblower.

Meanwhile, thousands of leading thinkers are creating scientific, factual content free of charge. But they are drowned out by the partisan and hateful content that Facebook would rather prioritize. Facebook taps into the worse parts of human nature.

It’s time to reverse course. To put good-faith content above hate, misinformation, and partisanship.

The rule of legacy, social and mainstream media is over.

A lot of us are asking ourselves, “why can’t we learn from history? Why was Afghanistan such a disaster? Why is income inequality getting worse”

The same people who got us into the mess we’re in today are the same ones claiming they can get us out. They are featured on mainstream media every day telling us how this time it’ll be different.

But if we keep listening to the people who are consistently wrong about solving our problems then we are unwise.

These people should have all been kicked out years ago. But here they are. Still creating a mess that future generations must suffer for.

We need to stop letting those in power set the agenda. For them to decide who speaks and about what. We are told that knowledge will set us free. It’s time we free ourselves from our self imposed echo chambers.

That is why I’m building Cicero. Join us

Our information landscape is broken. Defeat the echo chambers and filter bubbles with a diverse range of perspectives from leading experts on every topic.

There is too much noise in social and mainstream media. They don't support good-faith and factual content. Mainstream media is partisan, divisive, and lacks nuance. So consumers stick to a few sources and don't hear opposing ideas. Experts are at the whim of biased media outlets to get their voices heard.

Social media promotes mainstream content, which is influencer-based, status-seeking, and rewards a race-to-the-bottom mentality. So consumers are overwhelmed with ads and noisy, addictive, and siloed feeds that reinforce biases. Experts have difficulty cutting through the noise with long-form, nuanced content.

Cicero aggregates and curates experts and their content into one place. Experts no longer have to figure out how to compete with world-class entertainment sponsored by big names. We provide a captive audience ready to engage with. Consumers can follow their favorite topics or experts, discover new content and experts, and get articles, essays, videos, podcasts and more delivered directly to their emails or feeds. This enables experts to own relationships with consumers, making them more intimate, and allow consumers to stay on top of their content no matter where they post
