Episode 69: Connectomes

Liars are using the media to overwhelm people’s minds -- and not just consciously. To understand how deep this problem runs, we need to learn how the news impacts the unconscious mind. Today, Josh speaks with a woman who has exceptional insight, and has coined the term “Brand Connectome.” You’ll learn how people manipulate our brains, and what we can do about it. Along the way, you’ll hear about new data on violent crimes that fly in the face of Trump’s claims; a type of crime that has reached historic levels; a photographer who stages images; and an interviewer who does nothing when a lying terror supporter justifies atrocities. Plus, Josh answers a listener’s question about presidents and the national debt.
