About this listen
Democracy depends on shared reality: facts that can be checked, institutions that can correct themselves, and a public willing to ask how something is known. This episode follows what happens when verification gets replaced by narrative performance, and when emotion and identity start functioning as evidence. Once people lose a common method for sorting truth from persuasion, debate becomes theater, accountability dissolves, and power no longer needs to justify itself. In Other Words, once reality becomes optional, so does democracy.
