The voices that dominate discussions about world order are typically those of the rich and powerful, while the voices of the marginalized and oppressed are often silenced or ignored.

The role of elites in shaping public discourse is crucial, as they can either reinforce or challenge the prevailing narratives, influencing the masses' beliefs and actions.

The people who build and maintain the structure of society often have the least representation and are ignored due to social hierarchies, while irrelevant figures are idolized in media.

People with resources often focus on solving problems that matter to them, which may not align with the issues that are significant to others, such as a black woman and mother in her 40s.

The narrative control in media can be potent; once a story is out, it can become the repeated truth, regardless of its accuracy.

The media's goal is to make every problem your problem to capture attention and clicks, creating a chaotic environment where even non-participation is not allowed.

The environmental narrative often presents a false dichotomy, suggesting that addressing climate issues requires making people poorer.

The media's role has shifted from neutral reporting to being tribal and partisan, with organizations acting as enforcers for their respective sides. This has led to a loss of objectivity in journalism.

Podcasters have gained significant influence in the news space, often engaging audiences that traditional media overlooked, especially during elections.
