- I have a question about the episode 780: Chris Fenton | China's Harrowing Hold Over Hollywood and the clip Narrative Spin. Discuss how cognitive biases, misinformation, and government propaganda can distort public perception and lead to actions perceived as evil, despite individuals believing they serve a greater good. Use historical examples such as fascism, communism, World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, 9/11, the invasion of the Middle East, and NATO to illustrate your points. How do these narratives prioritize the collective over the individual, and what are the consequences?
