POP LIFE EP. 45: LOLLAPALOOZA AND THE RISE OF ALTERNATIVE ft. KATHERINE RYE JEWELL

Get Michelle's book here: https://a.co/d/9qreqPr   One Idea To Rule Them All: Reverse Engineering American Propaganda" delves into the fascinating world of cognitive shortcuts that our brains employ to form beliefs, and how these can be manipulated in a technologically advanced society to subtly influence our perceptions. Rather than viewing propaganda as mere lies or distortions, the book explores the sophisticated techniques developed since the early 20th century that render such a simplistic view obsolete. It exposes the power wielded by 'Idea Bullies' who, armed with these techniques, vast wealth, and influential connections, dominate the marketplace of ideas, leading to a democracy ossified in orthodoxy. The book traces the historical evolution of this phenomenon, known variously as the manufacturing of consent, public relations, or simply 'propaganda'. It also illuminates how the art of stagecraft and narrative storytelling have supplanted the objective pursuit of truth, and why this manipulation of language is invariably the first harbinger of tyranny.   Get Tickets to the live podcast in San Francisco, "Is Trump the End of, The End of History" here: https://www.universe.com/.../is-trump-the-end-of-history...   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

The traveling festival Lollapalooza showcased alternative bands and gave rise of the musical format we see at festivals like Coachella. Was it a Woodstock for Generation X? If so, why didn't it have the same issues as the Woodstock reboots in 1994 and the most talked about one in 1999?

Stefan discusses the similarities in the historical perspective and metaphysics between the fantasy series Wheel of Time and the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, and how they both portray a conservative world where we are doomed to see the same things happening over and over again, and it is the actions of individuals, not the people matter   Get tickets to the live podcast in San Francisco, April 17, "Is Donald Trump the End of, The End of History" here: https://www.universe.com/events/is-trump-the-end-of-history-tickets-J30WT9?utm_medium=affiliate&ref=ticketmaster&irgwc=1&clickid=SvQWD7S-hxyKT3dT3JWIF3E4Uks1OlULRWMm100&camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_374335&impradid=374335&REFERRAL_ID=tmfeedbuyat374335&wt.mc_id=aff_BUYAT_374335&utm_source=374335-Evvnt%20Inc&impradname=Evvnt%20Inc&ircid=4272?ref=share-widget-buffer   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.
