SERIES ONE FINALE: "The Words You Trust No Longer Mean What You Think."

Name the last policy you cheered for that, examined coldly, made your life materially worse. Most people can't. 

Not because those policies don't exist, but because the cheering and the examination happen in different rooms of your mind, and that house's architecture was not built by you.

 
This is the series one finale of The Polymathic Perspective. Dov Baron examines the forty-year project that has rewritten the meaning beneath the words ordinary people use to describe their lives. 

The project is not hidden. It has been openly described in essays, books, and policy documents that anyone can read. The problem is that almost no one is looking.

 In this episode: 

• Why your gut tightens when someone uses a word your tribe was taught to hate
•  
• Why a country can cheer for the dismantling of the institutions that keep its water safe, and feel righteous while doing it
•  
• Why the person on the other side of the political aisle from you is running the same program with different inputs
•  
• What a retainer is, and why your 401K may be one
•  
• The cognitive mechanism the architects have been counting on for forty years.

This is not a partisan episode. Both sides are operating inside the same architecture. 
The architects are counting on you to keep looking sideways at your neighbor instead of upward at the structure being built around both of you.
