The Revolt of the Public and Information Overload

The concept of a revolt against authority has emerged due to a widespread distrust of elites and traditional institutions. This shift has been fueled by an overwhelming surge of information in recent years, leading to confusion about what is real and valuable among the populace. As individuals are bombarded with vast amounts of content, they lose faith in established structures, resulting in a collective detachment from the competence of elites. The inability of institutions to adapt to this changing information landscape has created significant social and political turbulence across various countries.
