Episode description

On this week's podcast:

The Social Compact is an implicit understanding between the government and the people.

Statistician and author Guy Hatchard suggests that the Social Compact has been broken.

We discuss the distortion of public information, increasing control or influence over the media, the age of social engineering, and the lessons to be absorbed from poorly-scienced public health ideas.

And is the next pandemic “Anxiety over Life Itself?”

We comment on the Government versus farmers and farming in NZ, and we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
