The Hidden Forces Shape Our Lives, But Can We Break Free?

Ah, the quest for individuality in 21st-century America! Todd Rose (@_toddrose), a former Harvard academic and CEO of Populace, discusses how society is shackled by "collective illusions," where people falsely believe the majority agrees with ideas they secretly oppose. This gives small, vocal groups undue power, especially amplified by social media. Rose's antidote? Living authentically. Just as poets helped topple communism in Czechoslovakia, Americans could shape a brighter future by embracing truth. Technology isn't the villain; it’s our misuse of it. To thrive, we must dictate technology’s role based on clear values, protecting individualism and humanity. Check out Rose’s insights on “Zero Hour.”
