Is it really true that social media makes us dumber and that we lose contact with our inner life experiences?

To understand the question, we need to get back to basics - what is intelligence and how does it affect our social engagements? Economics professor Micael Dahlen meets the world-renowned neurologist, Antonio Damasio, to try to understand what is going on with our relationship to social media and how it affects our brain. We also talk to Björn Liljeqvist, the head of Mensa International.
