概要
You've never been to most of the places you have opinions about. You've never met the politicians you vote for or against. Almost everything you think you know about the world, you know secondhand.
In this episode, we explore Walter Lippmann's 1922 classic: an argument that democracy has a problem at its core. Citizens are supposed to make informed decisions, but the world is too big and too complex. We don't respond to reality. We respond to the pictures in our heads.
Lippmann wasn't a radical. He was a journalist and establishment figure. That's what makes his skepticism so striking. He believed in democracy, but he also believed most people were voting on fictions.
The question he leaves us with: if we can't know the world directly, who gets to draw the pictures?
