One of the most effective ways to control a society is by controlling the spread of its information. With the amount of misinformation and disinformation seemingly growing, Spencer and Arjun try to unpack what led us here. They discuss the media, political partisanship, cognitive biases, and the mindset we may need to cultivate to overcome this hurdle. It looks like critical thinking and rationality will be indispensable for keeping us grounded and guiding us through this mess.
