Chuck Klosterman: We live as if we are right about how we view reality. He says there's a certain utility in just working like, well, the way we view the world is how the world is. But it has become much more difficult to sort of get attention in that specific kind of attention economy.

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.
