How do we live in a world where everyone sees a different reality? In this episode, Brandon Cook explores the growing crisis of the "post-truth" age—an era where emotional narratives, tribal loyalty, and information overload often overwhelm basic facts.

The result is a culture where people increasingly contort themselves to defend what they know isn't true. So how do we live with integrity in a world where truth itself feels unstable?
