Liars: Falsehoods and Free Speech in an Age of Deception — When Truth Needs Friction
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Cass R. Sunstein
This episode explores Liars: Falsehoods and Free Speech in an Age of Deception by Cass R. Sunstein as a systems-level analysis of how free-speech law, cognitive bias, platform design, and institutional trust influence behavior, belief, and democratic outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, technological, and cultural structures.
