Episode notes

The American electorate of 20 22 is far and away the best educated american electorate ever. We may need to think about a different way for people to live each other. More and more of us are in politics to realize a vision of ourselves. As people become rich or more prosperous, they become more different one from another as they realize who they are.

Sam Harris speaks with Anne Applebaum, David Frum, Barton Gellman, and George Packer about the ongoing threat to American democracy posed by Republican misinformation and disinformation regarding the 2020 Presidential Election and the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
