171 Facts and Truth in an Information Age

April 17, 2020

Sometimes reality reminds us that it doesn't care about our opinions. Pandemics don't care what we think, and viruses don't listen to pundits. We would have guessed that Israeli politicians would overcome their differences and form a unity government in a time of crisis. Just how dysfunctional have we become? How do we navigate reality in the age of information overload? How to we separate facts from silliness? How can we develop critical thinking skills under a media deluge? Alan, Mike and Matt discuss educational challenges in the 21st century. Join us!


This episode was recorded on Zoom, and then sent to the amazing Ben Wallick Studios for editing. Ben is the best!
