Hidden Forces
Description
In Episode 20 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Daniel Drezner about the state of intellectual thought in American society. Where does one go in order to find good information? How does one measure the value of an idea if he or she cannot determine its veracity?
