The RAND Corporation defines Truth Decay as the diminishing role of facts and analysis in American public life. This phenomenon has taken hold over the last two decades, eroding civil discourse, causing political paralysis and leading to public uncertainty and disengagement. Most of these trends are not unprecedented in U.S. history. But today's level of disagreement over objective facts appears to be a new phenomenon. So how did we get here?
Join executives from YPO's newest content contributor, RAND Corporation, for this enlightening webinar. Michael Rich, President and CEO of RAND, and Jennifer Kavanagh, Director of the Strategy, Doctrine and Resources Program in the RAND Arroyo Center, will discuss the unique degree of disagreement about basic facts, underscored by a growing divergence between evidence and beliefs.
Explore what causes these patterns, and how we might address them.
Discuss the four trends that characterize truth decay, including a declining trust in formerly respected sources of facts, increasing disagreement about facts and a blurring of the line between opinion and fact.
NOTE: This event is delivered by the Strategic Partnership Team and is the first in a series of collaboration programs with YPO content contributor, RAND Corporation.
