In this episode of CogWar, we delve into "The Infrastructure of Reason," exploring how media, disinformation rubrics, and state-controlled narratives shape our thinking and national identities. Drawing on Orwell vs. Huxley, Neil Postman's insights, and Ernest Renan's views on collective memory, we examine the frictionless spread of propaganda, like Israel's Hasbara strategies, and the double binds of trusting experts while navigating biased sources. From NYT language biases to AI-driven targeting, we question: How much control do we truly have over the artifacts that build our convictions? A provocative look at epistemology in a distracted world.
