Joe Polish sits down with Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek for a wide-ranging conversation on information warfare, cognitive liberty, and why inner freedom threatens authoritarian control.

• Why Jan warns that today's global battlefield is informational where AI, TikTok, and curated algorithms can be used to shape public perception at scale.

• The dangerous rise of pathocratic systems where psychopaths rise to power through distorted incentives, and how to stay human in an inhuman age.
