HyperNormalisation and the Illusion of Stability: Facing Manufactured Realities

The Deeper Thinking Podcast is digitally narrated

For anyone troubled by the gap between what we see and what we believe.

How do whole societies sustain illusions they secretly know are false? In this episode, we examine hypernormalisation: a condition where political deception, media manipulation, and corporate storytelling maintain an appearance of stability even as belief erodes. Guided by Jean Baudrillard, Hannah Arendt, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Albert Camus, we ask what happens when reality blurs, rebellion is commodified, and resistance feels impossible.

Is escape possible—or is the illusion too deeply entrenched? We explore existential strategies for living in truth when systems prefer the lie.
