Mehr The Civics Factor

Democracies are basically f*cked and failing to solve the problems we need them to. There's reasons for that. And knowing those reasons could help prevent collapse or at least prepare us for what comes after. The Civics Factor is a vehicle for exploring the ideas that would save democracy from itself, and failing that, bring listeners ideas about how to self-organize and group problem-solve in a post-collapse world. Tribalism and the perverse dopamine of hyperpartisanship, propaganda and the manipulation of public opinion, the limits and potential for human empathy, the role of journalist and the techno-future of the public square, it's all on the table for how they have broken the politics needed to fix issues, and how they can inform community-building in the future. www.civicsfactor.com

Episode Science literacy to survive the 21st century - Interview #13 - Claire Scavuzzo, PhD Cover

Science literacy to survive the 21st century - Interview #13 - Claire Scavuzzo, PhD

Claire Scavuzzo, PhD, collaborated with experts to deliver a freely available course on Science Literacy. Among the literacy that people need to elect good leaders, an appreciation for science and what it means is essential for good citizens. Find the free course here: https://www.ualberta.ca/admissions-programs/online-courses/science-literacy.html The Civics Factor is a podcast about the ideal civic education if democracy wasn't screwed. Like a lot of education, civics was politicized under a flawed paradigm that doesn't do what we desperately need democracies to do: elect good leaders who will follow-through on solving problems.

Episode Public opinion is not the public's opinion - Interview #12 - James Hoggan Cover

Public opinion is not the public's opinion - Interview #12 - James Hoggan

James Hoggan, public relations expert and co-founder of DeSmogBlog, talks with me about the impact of PR to persuade people to pick up opinions that preserve a status quo that is trending poorly for the future of the planet. James is author of "I'm Right and You're An Idiot: The Toxic State of Public Discourse and How to Clean It Up". It's a great book full of great science on human psychology, political and economic behaviour, and in particular, justifications for why people in power do the things they do and why people support them even when it hurts them. The Civics Factor is a podcast about the ideal civic education if democracy wasn't screwed. Like a lot of education, civics was politicized under a flawed paradigm that doesn't do what we desperately need democracies to do: elect good leaders who will follow-through on solving problems.
