Wednesday Visit From Ron Edwards & American Cyberscape with Mari Eder

It’s Wednesday and so we will once again be joined by Ron Edwards to discuss hot topics. Trust is unraveling across American institutions, affecting government, news organizations, as well as expertise and values. The impact is not just institutional, the decay affects individuals, families and shared norms. The very foundations of American culture seem increasingly at risk. All the while, technology continues to act as an accelerant, speeding up societal change and challenging our abilities to keep pace while controlling our responses. Uncovering the multivariate sources of these challenges is work that demands rigorous, ongoing investigation. As with any investigation, a solid place to start is a requirement. Scheduled to join me is Major General Mari K. Eder - U.S. Army retired, former Army Deputy Chief of Public Affairs and author of American Cyberscape: Trials and the Path to Trust – in her book Gen. Eder examines the sources of decay in trust and offers solutions to lead us to firmer terrains of shared truth. By grounding the topography of cyberspace and drawing on wide-ranging expertise and experience, both scholarly and practical, American Cyberscape shows pathways to improve outcomes for everyone.
