In this episode of the DM-Mi Podcast, Sukh Hayre speaks with Samiksha Bhattacharjee, student, writer, social commentator and host of Samiksha’s State of the Debate.
They explore what it means to grow up as a Zoomers in an age of smartphones, social media algorithms and constant political information. Samiksha shares her view that exposure to political content does not always create political literacy, arguing that online platforms can reward outrage, tribalism and performance over genuine curiosity.
The conversation also covers free speech and debate on UK university campuses, the challenge of changing your mind online, the rise of anti-establishment politics, Samiksha’s journey towards classical liberalism, and the opportunities and pressures of creating thoughtful long-form and short-form content.
Later, Sukh and Samiksha discuss social media age restrictions, digital ID, privacy, convenience and the future of individual freedom.
A wide-ranging conversation on Gen Z politics, campus debate, social media, free speech, digital identity and the value of questioning the ideas we inherit.
