The Trust Recession_ Why Everything Feels Like a Lie

from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune

Imagine walking into your local bank or logging onto your favorite news site and feeling an immediate, gut-level suspicion that you are being misled. You are not alone. We are living through what experts call a global trust recession. From governments and NGOs to the biggest corporations on the planet, faith in our primary institutions is hitting historic lows. It is a structural credibility crisis that affects how we consume information, how we vote, and even how we view our neighbors. This decline in trust is not happening in a vacuum. Research shows a fascinating, if somewhat alarming, link between how we view the people living next door and how we view our government. This is called social trust. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
