🎙️ HyperNormalisation and the Illusion of Stability – The Deeper Thinking Podcast

In this episode, we explore the unsettling reality of HyperNormalisation—the phenomenon where societies sustain illusions even when they are recognized as false. How do political deception, media manipulation, and corporate narratives create a world where people knowingly participate in a system they no longer believe in?

Drawing from the philosophies of Jean Baudrillard, Hannah Arendt, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Albert Camus, we uncover the deeper existential crisis at play: a world where reality is blurred, rebellion is commodified, and resistance seems impossible. Can we escape HyperNormalisation, or is the illusion too deeply entrenched?
