Taking the ProTruthPledge: Can We Really Trust Politics?

My baseline concern is with the truth and the facts...We want to be very careful about the kind of balance that we draw and the kind of permission that we give to other people in influencing our country.
Politics and truth often seem like oil and water—they just don't mix. In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Blum Show', host Michael Blum dives into this tricky topic with Dr. Gelb Tsipursky, a behavioral science expert. They tackle the concept of the ProTruthPledge, a movement aimed at promoting honesty and ethics in the political sphere. Ever wondered why politicians twist the truth or how emotional contagion plays into political manipulation? This episode has got you covered. Dr.
Tsipursky sheds light on how the Soviet Union manipulated its citizens and why celebrating truthful retractions can make a difference. You'll hear about a reward system designed to encourage politicians to be more truthful and how trust in our leaders is crucial for a healthy democracy. So, are you ready to take the ProTruthPledge and help foster a more honest political landscape? Tune in to find out!
