This week on Act Out! you've likely heard the phrase perception is reality. But what if it's not – not even close? What if we don't see an objective reality – what if we, to borrow another phrase, can't handle the truth?

Donald Hoffman, a quantitative and computational psychologist, has a theory which suggests just that: that we aren't evolutionarily built to see reality and perhaps, never will be.

My question then: what are the socio-political impacts of that theory? This week – human psychology, evolution and even math shed some light on the human condition and how we might be able to save ourselves from our own virtual reality.

This week on Act Out! elected officials could be the next group of people rounded up and thrown in a cell. And while that might sound appealing depending on the official, the reasoning behind it is nothing short of an authoritarian nightmare. Meanwhile, U.S. residents who have lived here longer than I've been alive find themselves targeted for deportation; and can we really have sanctuary cities in the midst of a tangled web of ICE and local law enforcement collusion?

Next up, if you want to organize in the face of rising fascism, some rules for radicals could aid you in your work.

And finally, Wendell Potter, a former health industry big-wig unveils his project to expose and deconstruct the corporatocracy.

This week on Act Out! from predator economics to co-ops, we take a look at how our current system pollutes not only the planet but marginalized communities through direct and pervasive violence. And while the stock market goes up, our quality of life – both economically and otherwise, continues to fall. There is another way...and economist Richard Wolff joins us to talk about a truly democratic alternative already in practice across the world, even here in the U.S.
