DESCRIPTION:PHILOSOPHY TALK: THE ALLURE OF AUTHORITARIANISM\n\nSunday, May 22 @ 11 
 AM\n\nListen at 91.7 FM, or go to 
 https://www.kalw.org/show/philosophy-talk\n\nIn George Orwell’s 1984, the 
 party’s “final, most essential command” was “to reject the evidence 
 of your eyes and ears.” \n\nAuthoritarian regimes call on us to accept as 
 fact whatever they tell us; or worse, as Hannah Arendt says, they get us to 
 a point where we no longer know—or care about—the difference between 
 fiction and reality. \n\nSo why are so many so willing to reject the 
 evidence of their senses and deny basic, confirmable truths? Is there 
 something about human psychology that makes us susceptible to totalitarian 
 propaganda? \n\nAnd as the appeal of authoritarian leaders grows around the 
 world, how do we guard against such radical thought manipulation? \n\nJosh 
 and Ken lure Michael Lynch from the University of Connecticut, author of 
 "Know-It-All Society: Truth and Arrogance in Political Culture".\n
