A scene in an old Robin Williams movie highlights a dangerous pattern people fall into — one that’s more widespread than ever today: the popularity trap. In this episode, Josh shows its unprecedented scale. He explains how the media is falling into the trap and dragging society down with it. But we can break out of it.
