An Armed-adillo Assassin Takes on President Jesus (CIB #277)

About this episode

The episode discusses the rise of individual reality-denying belief systems and their implications on society and politics.

Maybe it used to be the case that everyone believed a bunch of wild and crazy and reality-denying stuff, but at least we mostly shared those reality-challenged beliefs. Now it feels like everybody has their own bespoke insane reality-denying belief system, largely defined by the rejection of any institutional authority or shared truth.
