Episode notes
In this chapter, the speakers discuss the concept of the consensus war, where 50% of the country sees reality differently from the other 50%. They reflect on the past when there was a consensus on reality in America, with Walter Cronkite as the anchor of CBS news being the authoritative source. They attribute the current fractured information environment to social media algorithms that serve content based on user preferences. They express concerns about the growing entrenchment of the consensus problem and the difficulty of breaking through to each side.
