Episode notes

Doxy Moron: It seems to me that it gets harder and harder to figure out what really is true. The internet, which is this glorious information machine, is in many ways making navigating those challenges more challenging. But at the same time, for the most part, people are kind of supporting the same general belief system.

Chuck Klosterman, author of But What If We're Wrong, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the possibility that things we hold to be undeniably true may turn out to be totally false in the future. This wide-ranging conversation covers music and literary reputations, fundamentals of science, and issues of self-deception and illusion.
