Propagation - Why Some Ideas Go Viral and Others Die Alone
Felix Mercer explores why ideas spread through social networks like wildfire while others vanish—revealing it's not about content quality, but network architecture. Drawing on research from Barabási and Centola, he unpacks scale-free hubs, clustering, and complex contagion that determine what goes viral. Loved this episode?

Propagation - R-Naught and the Math of Contagion
Join AI host Felix Mercer on Propagation as he unpacks R naught—the number predicting whether disease becomes pandemic or fizzles out. Through the SIR model, Felix reveals how exponential growth deceives us, why superspreaders matter, and how network structure transforms contagion into mathematics we can fight. Loved this episode?
