RFH 127: The Pro-Truth Pledge and Building a Movement for Truth (with Tim Ward)
Author and communications expert Tim Ward joins co-hosts Andrew Kliman and Gabriel Donnelly to discuss what it means to stand up for truth in politics. The discussants considered how the Harris campaign handled the issue of post-truth politics, how Trump will continue to erode truth, and cognitive biases that help fuel the power of post-truth lies. Much of the discussion considered how a positive movement for truth, in the face of post-truth’s encroachments, would actually look like and what such a movement would prioritize. To that end, the Pro-Truth Pledge was considered.
Tim Ward is the coauthor with Gleb Tsipursky of Pro Truth: A Practical Plan for Putting Truth Back Into Politics, formerly sat on the executive board of the Pro-Truth Pledge, and blogs at Medium. The Pro-Truth Pledge can be read and signed at its website.
Plus current-events segment: the co-hosts discuss the recent protests in Georgia after the cessation of talks for the country to join the European Union.
