I joined
for a long, wide-ranging conversation about the moment we’re living through — the breakdown of our shared reality, the collapse of institutional guardrails, and what ordinary people can still do to hold their moral and civic footing when everything around us feels unstable.We talked about propaganda, epistemic capture, Silicon Valley’s role in this crisis, the assault on constitutional constraints, and the responsibility each of us carries to stay grounded, clear-eyed, and human in the middle of it all. None of this is easy to talk about, but it feels necessary — not as commentary, but as an attempt to help people think for themselves in a moment that punishes clarity.
If you find it useful, I hope it gives you a little more perspective, a little more steadiness, and a little more sense of what it means to stay oriented when the country is drifting.
The circus continues — but we don’t have to lose ourselves in it.
