Episode description

The Rand Corporation coined the phrase "Truth Decay", to describe where we are today in American history. Now more than ever, people polarize over many things...things that should be disputable by facts. Meaning, people disagree on things that previously would be considered indisputable. We're not talking about disputing details, we're talking about absolute disagreement on the "main things". Not just the details. Our social media and online experience has put us in a false reality where we think that everything we see, in our online universe, is the truth.  Mark explains the content of two videos that discuss this new reality, where truth is served to individuals based on their selected patterns of thought and clicks online.
