and media that were controlling the narrative within our country, yet the people within those institutions were a certain type of personality. And I'm not saying this was nefarious even. This is just kind of a human nature. And then you had the small group of them who were coming to me off the record saying, hey, I don't like what's going on. This is wrong, but I can't say anything about it.

So it's really important for people listening and watching this program to understand, and hopefully they'll read my book and get a deeper understanding.

Hopefully they'll have an understanding of how, what I try to show is how narratives get created. It's sort of like, how do the gears turn within our society? It's almost like Plato's cave. Who's looking at the shadows? Who's creating those shadows? How do you actually get out of the cave? A lot of the book is about evidence. That's the way that we really can arm ourselves to be aware.

It's sort of like a media literacy that you can even bring to your doctor. I suspect you, Megan, when you go to the doctor, they're not like, here's what you need to do. You're like, yes, doctor. Not anymore. Right, this isn't 1955 where you just do what people say. And this doesn't mean that we should ignore what quote experts say.

It doesn't mean that we should dismiss it out of hand, but it does mean that you should bring your own skepticism with you and you need to think about evidence. Ultimately, my book really, I think it's about kind of what we might call like epistemology. It's like, how do you know what is true? How do you know that this thing is true? And over and over again,

in our country, and we still do this now and it's every topic under the sun, but when I show what happened in the pandemic with such horrible consequence, is that the experts repeatedly told us things without providing any evidence behind what they were telling us, and then the media regurgitated this same information without providing evidence.

And within philosophy, that's called what's known as a logical fallacy. This is it's an argument from authority. Just because a person is saying something doesn't mean it's true. And they never pushed back and said, well, wait a minute. I know you're saying that they need HEPA filters and we can't open a school until they get the HEPA filter. What's the evidence behind this claim?
