In this episode we discuss the paradox of living in a society split by political parties endorsing two different versions of reality. Do any of your relatives, friends, or co-workers believe in something you see at outlandish? What do we do about the epidemic-like spread of misinformation and disinformation? How do we break through social media-fueled echo chambers? We'll cover these questions and more.
We'll also talk about the upcoming June 22nd primary election, which seats are up for election, who is running to fill those seats, and where you can vote early. If you live in Monroe County, NY, you can find all of this information, and more, at the Monroe County Board of Elections webpage: https://www.monroecounty.gov/elections?fbclid=IwAR1t6DkRV4EK52vWuHyrkwjB5kWTMTt_MwgVQk9LFXwQq2ksKL-1e6t3UIY (https://www.monroecounty.gov/elections).
