In this episode I discusses the ongoing information war being waged against the public, highlighting the rise of infotainment and propaganda, the role of social media in shaping narratives, and the importance of quality, fact-based information in a democratic society. He emphasizes the need for individuals to engage critically with the information they consume and to fight back against disinformation and the erosion of trust in institutions.
I’m going to start writing much more about the Information War and present to you, my adoring audience, as many ways as I can find for you to fight back. More to come.
