We used to rely on logic, reason, and a little thing called common sense. Now? Emotion runs the show. Outrage is rewarded. Facts are optional.
In this episode of Zero Distortion, Russ Bates breaks down how common sense collapsed — and what it’ll take to rebuild it.
🧠 You’ll learn:
-
Why emotion has replaced logic in modern life
-
How social media rewards outrage over understanding
-
The illusion of intelligence in the age of information
-
How to reclaim common sense in a noisy world
🎧 Zero Distortion is about cutting through the noise — no spin, no bias, just clear thinking.
